BuyStop/SellStop pause

I am writing an EA and when I try to place a pending order the EA stops for a keystroke to "Place" the order. This only takes place with BuyStop and SellStop it appears. Can anyone help me as I want a BuyStop and a SellStop to be placed based on the rules and without intervention. Then if one of the orders is activated I want it to cancel the other. Thanks in advance.

For the first part of your problem... have you verify properties?

Press F7. You should have something like the attached image. Then uncheck "Ask manual confirmation".
Is your problem fixed?

For the second part, you should select your order

OrderSelect(arguments);

then delete it

OrderDelete(OrderTicket());

Regards.

In the EA properties dialog there is a checkbox for manually confirming trades. This allows you to review the trade and confirm, change or cancel it before it goes to the server. That may not be exactly what you want, but that is as much as MT4 allows with EAs.

Thanks...simple stuff. Merry Christmas!
