EA Alteration

Hello,
Would it be possible for a coder to alter the attached EA to the following?
Take out the 'True'/'False in the buy/sell line,
Replace it with a choice of entry prices.
So instead of : Buy....True/False, and : Sell....True/False
There is : Buy....(Enter price), and : Sell...(Enter price)
Thanks everyone

Here you go ...

(Notes: I got rid of the Pips parameter, since it's no longer needed. The TP and SL are still in terms of pips, but now, calculated from the Buy and Sell prices you specify. If Buy or Sell price is set at 0 (zero, or a negative number), the corresponding order won't be submitted.)

Sorry to noob up your thread, but how does this work? I put it in my indicators folder, and tried to attach it to a chart but that doesn't work (I didn't feel too confident about that way of doing it in the first place).

Where do I put the file and how do I load it up in MT4?

Sorry for the trouble.

This is an EA, not an indicator.

So, save it in your /experts/ folder, then bring it up in your MetaEditor, then hit F5 to compile it.

After doing this, it should show up in your experts section of the Navigator in your MT4 platform. Drag it onto a chart to start running it. Make sure also to toggle your Expert Advisor button in the tool-bar active, as well as to check "Allow Live Trading" in your properties or options box. There should be a smiley face in the upper right hand corner of your chart if the EA is properly running on the chart.

I really appreciate all the help, and your instructions have been really clear and easy to follow!

I did everything that you said, and I even got my happy face in the upper right hand corner. How do I tell it to enter a certain kind of trade at a certain time of day?

Hello ddblue
I hope you have better luck than me. Seems I posted a bummer.
I attached it to the four majors I trade, activated it late last night (After setting the date & time) and....nothing. It did nothing.
Lost three trades I would otherwise have been in.

The search goes on! Someone must post stuff that actually works.

Here's my own EA which I altered to allow you to enter desired entry prices.
