My idea is very simple and will be easy . I need big flat button for both long and short position with one click . It is better that EA tool have input parameter for TP and SL. Please help me. I want my two orders execute before 2 seconds releasing news. It is similar to straddle pending orders. But Pending orders have alot of problems , slippage , gap ...etc. So Now I need two instant execution orders with on click. Can it possible? Help me :'(

Think this should do what you ask.
Assume your broker not FIFO.

Play with the code if you need amendments.

I have altered the Display to make it more compact and added a drag feature so you can place it anywhere on the chart.
To move the Display click on the X symbol in the center of the Display and hold down the left mouse button then drag the Display/EA to any position on the chart.

NOTE: All the trading functions are exactly the same as the original EA in Post #2.
NOTE: The name of this EA cannot be changed or it will not work.

Two templates for lighter color options supplied but user color options can also be achieved using the inputs.

Default Display colors

Nice work! Can you adjust it to work on indices? I tested it, and it worked only on forex.

Check the Journal tab at the bottom of the MT4 chart. I tried it on indices and gold and most of them worked however NGAS messaged that "Trade is disabled" and GER30 said "Off quotes" and they also didn't work using the standard MT4 buttons. Some need the SL and TP to be increased by a factor of 10 or occasionally 100 otherwise the TP and SL are too close to the current price. The TP and SL are in Points for this EA not Pips.

Yes, it works on gold just like forex, but not on indices on my side (tested on GER30, US30, UK100, and NAS100).
In the journal, it says, "Expert mn JustButtons US30,M1: loaded successfully." I tried changing the TP and SL from 80 and 100, to 800 and 1000, and 8000 and 10000, still didn't work on GER30.

Any suggestions?

Did you try to see if the standard MT4 buttons worked? If they don't work then neither will the EA. For example on my platform I found that GER30 was "Off quotes" and that was because it hadn't updated since the end of Jan.

Tried to use the EA and the standard MT4 buttons and got the same result.

My MT4 standard buttons work on all indices (and forex, metals, etc.). Clicking this EA while for example on GER30, does not register anything in the journal.

If you know of any other free trade manager EAs that work on indices as well as forex, with similar basic options, that would be great. I don’t mind an EA with extra features either – even better if it can manage partial closes, move SL to breakeven, profit trail, with a dynamic moving buy/sell button on the right side of the current candle above/below the current price, and offer more options, or even better if you can code it, I’d really appreciate it.

OK as I mentioned in a previous post all the Trading functions and code were exactly as posted in the original EA. I personally have never used this EA so I had a good look at the inputs and a quick look at the code. The issue might have been the MAX Spread?? I altered the Max Spread and I tried all the indices on my platform even though the Market is closed and everything appeared to be working. The Slippage setting might also be worth looking at?

Good point. I altered the slippage and the spread together and separately to all possible values (adding 0's reached 5 0's), with the same result. It works on forex but not indices, and there is no message in the journal except when trying on forex, [Market is closed].
