Instant close all orders... is it possible?

Hi there,

I miss a function in MT4, where I can quickly close all open trades instantly, insted of close manually one by one.

I saw this thread http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=9502
but when I try to use this script I get an error : error 4109.??

Can it be done in another way or what do I do wrong?

I run an EA and will like to sometimes close all open trades fast.

Thank's in advance,

Pipcruiser

I didn't check the link you posted, but here's a script I threw together in 30 seconds.
PHP Code
int start() {

    // while there are open orders...
    while (OrdersTotal() > 0) {
        // iterate the orders
        for (int i=OrdersTotal()-1;i>=0;i--) {
            // select the order
            OrderSelect(i,SELECT_BY_POS);
            // close or kill depending on order type
            Print("Closing order ", OrderTicket());
            switch(OrderType()) {
                case OP_BUY:  OrderClose(OrderTicket(),OrderLots(),Bid,100); break;
                case OP_SELL: OrderClose(OrderTicket(),OrderLots(),Ask,100); break;
                default:      OrderDelete(OrderTicket());
            }    
        }
    }
}
You might wonder why the "while" loop is there since the "for" loop handles order iteration. It's incase an error is returned when an order close/kill is sent to the server. This script will move on to the next order to close it, but will doggedly re-loop until every single order in your account has been closed. Think of it as a poor-man's error handling.

Note also that acceptable slippage has been set to a whopping 100 pips.

Hi Tesla,
I like to know is there any function or script to open all trades at once? For example, 2 lots cable, 3 lots swissy, 1 lot usd-jpy or any other combination selectable and select long or short individually and execute them all at once? Insted of opening one by one. Thanks in advance. I am posting it here as I feel this is just the opposite to the original request of this thread.
