How to make MT4 trailing stops work?

Hi everyone.
Would appreciate if anyone can explain trailing stop setting on MT4.
I have demo account and have no problem with placing orders stop/loss and limit, but, how i can place trailing stop ?. (cannot see on order modification screen any check boxes, or similar ).

Never mind - founded, all OK

Hi everyone.

First, sorry if this may sound stupid, i am just noob in forex, but have question for something i have observed.

On the bollinger band i have observed that the candlesticks waving from one side of the BB to other in some movements.
If i also apply SMA - (standard setting), i can see that SMA crosses middle of the BB (shows a trend line of candlesticks).

Now the big part. Is it possible to generate buy or sell signal (or even program) to automatically make buy or sell position on the observed crossing of SMA and BB in 1 hr chart ?
And if yeas than how this can be done (maybe possible to generate some sound alert ?)

Can you post a picture?

Will try, i have to figure first how to copy trade screed and paste into this forum.

Nope, never had any candles wave at me...

Just these guys....

I'd wave back next time and see what happens, it can't hurt anything...

Would appreciate if some one could explain the .ex4 file for me.

I can see that some of the posts have file attachment with .ex4 ending. When i try to open the file (import to MT4) i got error message.

For example: file Candle_Identifier.ex4 ? How i can install this on my MT4 ?

Regards

Drop it on your hard drive under <drive>rogram Files<your broker>expertsindicators

Close MT4 and reopen it and the indicator should be available in the custom indicators of the navigation panel.

Thank You.
Appreciate

.exe is executable and not source machine use not programmer friendly :-)

Isn't the .ex4 file generated after you compile the .mq4 file and makes the mq4 file executable? For example, oscillator_1.mq4 versus oscillator_1.exe?

I think what you need is the Candle_Identifier.mq4 file and, once you compile it through the Meta Editor, it creates its own unique .ex4 file. You need both of these I believe, in order to get the EA to work.

Would like to hear from programmers to write EA (automatic - long - short orders).

Here is a list of programmers in no particular order. (My apologies if I forget anyone, feel free to add yourself to the list). Perhaps it would be a good idea to contact them.
