Scripts for Limit entry, Stop entry, Market entry

Hi smjones

I have tried your script for multilots and put SL to 50 and TP to 100 for geppy, but when i launch script, TP and SL are not set in orders. Can you explain me to correct it. I can send you my settings if you want ?


Thanks in advance.

Hi smjones;

I'm new to this forum. I appreciate your scripts but am getting some problem executing them. Is it possible to modify them or create a script that does all that these do without the risk and money management? I seem to get problems figuring out these two features

Good job on this script!

i was very glad to find your script for multilots. thanks for sharing!!
and happpy new 2009 to you and all!

my trade is based on opening 3 identical positions and closing them at different stages, the first of which is predefined, i.e, when the 1st target is reached i need to close 1 position and move the rest to BE.
i think this script of yours can be just what i need so i don't need to fumble thru opening 3 positions simultanously...

may i kindly ask you some questios in this regard?

1.can the script open a few identical marketlimit orders simultanously?
i have tried 3 "numberoforders" and 1 "lots" and got 1 position of 3 lots..
is this the way the multilot function works, or have i missed something?

2.i typed the limit price i wanted the position to open under "entry" ,but nothing happend. what did i miss here? i only manged to sell at market (entry=0).

3. i tried 3 orders of 0.2lot (i.e 20,000$) in a limit order and got a text saying my lot zize is too small or something like that.
i tried to change micro-mini lots false-true definition and no avail...
also cancelled all other limitations of money managements and still no good.

could u maybe just detail an exampled setting for, say, buy 3 times o.2 lot (20,000$ )eur-usd
(or 1 position of 0.6 lot) at 1.4002 while the market is 5 pips away at 1.3997?

thanks in advance.

I am trying to combine these two scripts but it wont run. Kindly point whats wrong with the following:



#property show_inputs

extern double Lots = 0.1;
extern bool UseMoneyMgmt = false;
extern double RiskPercent = 2;
extern bool UseStop = true;
extern bool UseTakeProfit = true;
extern double StopLoss = 20;
extern double TakeProfit = 30;
extern string Note="0 in Entry field means Market Order Buy";
extern double Entry = 0.0000;

string Input = " Buy Price ";



//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| script program start function |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
int start()
{
double Risk = RiskPercent / 100;
if (UseMoneyMgmt)
Lots = NormalizeDouble( AccountBalance()*Risk/StopLoss/(MarketInfo(Symbol(), MODE_TICKVALUE)),2);
int Mode = OP_BUYSTOP;
if (Ask > Entry && Entry > 0) Mode = OP_BUYLIMIT;
if (Entry == 0) {Entry = Ask; Mode = OP_BUY;}
double SLB = Entry - StopLoss*Point, TPB = Entry + TakeProfit*Point;
if (UseStop == false) SLB = 0;
if (UseTakeProfit == false) TPB = 0;
if(Lots > 0)
OrderSend(Symbol(),Mode, Lots, Entry, 2,SLB , TPB, "Buy Script", 0, NULL, LimeGreen);


int Mode = OP_SELLSTOP;
if (Bid < Entry && Entry > 0) Mode = OP_SELLLIMIT;
if (Entry == 0) {Entry = Bid; Mode = OP_SELL;}
double SLS = Entry+StopLoss*Point, TPS = Entry - TakeProfit * Point;
if (UseStop == false) SLS = 0;
if (UseTakeProfit == false) TPS = 0;
if(Lots > 0)
OrderSend(Symbol(),Mode, Lots, Entry, 2, SLS, TPS, "Sell Script",0, NULL, Red);

return(0);
}

Hi smjones,

I am very new to forex and testing your EA SL/TP on my DEMO, however I only got losing trades everyday. I am just surprise and what is wrong with it. Would you plse advice. Appreciate.

Thanks

How do I modify the scripts in the first post? When I open them in meta-editor, make a change to say the TP , click compile and save, they no longer work. What I'm i doing wrong? Thanks alot.

Hi guys & gals
I have been searching for a script for scalping that will allow me to quickly open a market position with a fixed SL & TP and ideally allow me to move the SL & TP as the position runs.

I came across this thread with a couple of scripts which appear to be ideal. Unfortunately, I cannot get them to work. I have very limited experience with scripts and would appreciate someone talking me through setting them up and/or recommending any other scripts and talking me through setting them up. Cheers

You can find some help > HERE <

Hi Countex,

If you need a script that combines most of the options for both Buy & Sell orders and includes money management, perhaps the one below will be of some use...

I have been using the 2 scripts in first post for a long time,
and I just love it. Thank you SMJones very much.

It is working great for me on the 4 digits platforms, but it is not working
on 5 digits platform.

I wonder; are the scripts designed only for 4 digits?

Can someone help?

Thanks very much.

Cheers

Hi,

I have spent the last 5 months reading the forums and studying the works of what i see as that masters. This is my first post as i was taught that the student stays quiet until they have dillagently studied and has something meaningful to say.

At this time i would like to thank SMJones, LateComer, T101, steve Hopwood, Scooby-Doo, orest, Ronald Raygun, kang gun, ea programer and swing man, just to name a few. I appriciate your input as i have learned much from each of you.

I would appriciate it if Latecomer could contact me for a brief exchange as i have a coupple of questions.

Again, my deepest appriciation to each of you,

Jim

Yes, could someone please let me know how to modify the Buy and Sell scripts, i.e., the scripts so that they can work with 5 digit brokers (mbtrading's ECN MT4 in my case) and for the different type of lots, i.e., where 1 lot is equal to 100,000 or 10,000, etc.

Thanks.
