how to install MT4 and instant closing of all positions

:

I need two things.

ONE: a small add-on that allows the instant closing of all positions.

TWO: an Idiots guide on how to install and use it. I've been trading quite a while, just never used MT4.

You will have my eternal gratitude. I also will grant you three wishes. They may not involve my daughter.

...are expensive. My daughter is about to enter high school, and I need to be trading at my best. So, finally, I am looking at MT4.

You might want to do a search of the forums, as these are very common questions.

Installation is very easy: http://www.metaquotes.net/download/

The "add-on" you mention is not an add-on per se, but an EA (Expert Advisor). Each EA is different and usually coded for a specific strategy. So, you'll have to first decide why and when you want all positions closed so you can look for an EA that does what you want when you want.

You might also be able to do it with a script. I'm not sure, as I don't allow my computer to decide my trades for me.

there is a built in script in mt4 that will close all open positions. Once you install mt4 you will find it in the scripts folder.

Again. They go in the Scripts folder and are used as scripts.

Use the search feature to find answers to your questions before you post. These questions have been asked several times in the past

Good Luck

I realized that very quickly. I wasted several folks time.

But, as this is a Forum regarding MT... do you think maybe the mods could make a sticky at the top? I also noticed that "How do I change the time" was the most asked question... Just seems like it would stop idiots (like me) from doing what I did...
