Is there EA/Script for "Pending Order" entry and can assign Magic No.?

Attached is the Script I use to enter a trade and assign a Magic No. But this executes the trade right away.

Is there a way to modify it (or a different script out there) which will allow for PENDING ORDER EXECUTION (buy/sell stop and buy/sell limit orders) while being able to ASSIGN MAGIC NO.

Thank you so much for any help you may provide.

Hello

Would you please Explain what is the Magic Number, so i can see if i can assist you...

Regards,

Hi; "Magic No" is a unique number you assign to your order(s) which acts as order reference no. and enables you to distinguish between orders opened by your Expert Advisors or manually. This is different than the "ticket" (order) no. assigned by the broker.

More Specific Example: My EA manages my trade this way (example). Trade #1 (position): "At +25 pips move stop to break even and sell 1/2 the position. At +50 sell rest of lots"..... Trade #2 (short term trade - same pair) says: "at +10 pips sell 1/3 of position, at +20 sell 1/3 and at +30 sell remaining". Without Magic No. to distinguish between these two trades an EA would be totally confused and sell positions at EVERY level of BOTH trades on that pair.

BTW... Your broker assigns a NEW order (ticket) no. every time you split a trade (sell a portion of position). So in above example you would end up with 5 diff order no. from your broker. But they are actually only 2 trades and you have a Magic No. assigned to those 2. So you end up with 2 Magic No's and 5 order No's.

Assigning a Magic No. has to be done by Expert or Script (I don't know why but that's how MetaTrader wants it), then that number can be attached to the EA managing the trade. That way the EA will manage the trade according to assigned Magic No only. So you can have multiple EAs working on the same pair.

You'd have to change the OP_BUY or OP_SELL parameter in the OrderSend() function to OP_BUYLIMIT, OP_BUYSTOP, OP_SELLLIMIT or OP_SELLSTOP and add an external variable for the price.

I've modified

SELL "at market":
...extern string Order_Type = "sell";
...extern double Lots = 1.0;
...extern int magic = 123456;
...
... ticket = OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_SELL, Lots, Bid, 2, NULL, NULL, NULL, magic, 0, CLR_NONE);

to...

SELL_STOP_ORDER:
...extern string Order_Type = "SellStop";
...extern double Lots = 0.10;
...extern int atPrice = 1.6800;
...extern int magic = 12345;
...
... ticket = OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_SELLSTOP, Lots, atPrice, 2, NULL, NULL, NULL, magic, 0, CLR_NONE);

is that correct? What happens is that when I enter variable for Price as "1.6800" and attach the script, it converts the price to "1" instead of 1.6800 and doesn't execute. Is that because it's "extern int" and it needs to be a "decimal"... Not sure what to change it to.

Thank you so much... You guys (gals) who help us newbies and donate your time are probably the BEST thing to happen to the internet.

Yessss... It only took 4 hours. Changed the "int" to "double" and it works. Thanks to all for help.

Could somebody please post the newest version of this script for pending orders?


I am a total noobie to programming !! Thx a lot !!!

Okay..this was easier then i thaught lol


i changed the the code like above and it seems to work..
here the updated version

u dont have to change the input to "buy" or "sell" in the input tab as it opens an normal BuyStop/SellStop order window where u still can change the type of order...at least i think thats how it works will test it as soon as the market opens

can somebody tell me how i find out the magic number of allready open orders?

Kind Regards,
Aidan

heres one i added mm to, i added all order types, mm is %, for mini account

theres a part that says lotincreasewhenlosing, ignore that
it works in my ea but not the script, leave it to 0
to disable mm set risk to 0
the rest is self explanatory

Been looking for this.

Is there a way to combine all "order" settings so one script has:
-buystop / buylimit
-sellstop / selllimit
-market order

... so all one has to do is enter it into the "inputs" variable field and have one script for all types of orders. Thank you

thats what the script is that i uploaded
in the parameters type b bs or bl
b= instant buy
bs= buy stop, bl= buy limit, s ss sl for sales
fill in a price for the pending orders

heres the same script, without mm if you prefer
open in metaeditor and recompile to the name you like and with your prefered setting

This is great... Thank you very much

Ummm... It's me again ;

I am an old-school trader... A bit new to automation but I like it... and learning a LOT.

I enter trades at London open, which is middle of the night - my time. I set the alarm, get up, execute my trades manually, set an EA to manage those trades and go back to bed.

IT WOULD BE AWESOME... if there were a way to add "time of entry" to this script, so I can set it to execute my orders BEFORE I go to bed, and have the EA manage the executed trade without me having to get up in the middle of the night.

Is this possible? Or would it have to be another EA. In which case... Can I have two different EAs working on the same chart?

THANKS EVERYONE FOR TEACHING AN OLD DOG NEW TRICKS . (It IS possible)

i just noticed i made a error for sell limit orders, sorry bout that, its fixed here

you can only run 1 ea per chart
im novice my self to programming but i believe youd need a ea for that
try some of the news trading ea's
i know you can set time on some of them but not sure how flexible the orders are

You need to Edit/work on The following Script
"Close OPEN orders by SET Pair SET Account SET Time EA"
for open orders... imo ( not a programmer though)

it is posible to place pending order buy/sell stop & limit order at one time
