Find the script you want to run, right click in Navigator window and choose "Set Hotkey" and that will do it for you.

Those scripts I sent you don't work with some broker I don't know why. I remember that I used them with Fxpro, but they didn't work with Instatrader, it should be a version problem.

I had 3 others ones which was working perfectly, one to open trades, one to close losing trades, and the last one to close winning trades, I lost them on the hard drive of my last pc.

I will try to find some scripts like that again on the net. If my search is succefull, I post them here for you.

I think the name of the files are clear. One is to open short trades, one to open long trades. With the other scripts you can add your stop loss and take profit. The "close & reverse", will close current positions from the chart you drop it on and open new ones in the reverse direction. "Close all" will close all open positions.

the last one "hidden sl & tp" seems to not work since I never see it works on my platform.

You can modify the scripts in MetaEditor to make them as many positions as you like and with the volume you want.

Sorry for the bump, folks.

I'm trying to get the scripts posted ({Buy,Sell} with SL and TP w Confirm, along with "Close and Reverse" and the "Close All" script).

I've dropped the scripts into experts/scripts and then compiled them. Upon setting the hotkey to whatever value I select and then executing the hotkey I am prompted by a script configuration window (please see attachment).

Even after configuring the script, executing the hotkey results in the same configuration window popping up again regardless of how I've configured the script originally. I can't seem to get past this "settings" window when trying to execute the script.

Thoughts on how to get this working?

I can't help on this matter since I never used hotkey to launch the scripts. but I never had problem dropping them down on my chart taking them from my navigator window.

Try going Tools>Options>Expert Advisors and then check the box that says Allow Live Trading.

I can't make my instructions any clearer than before. Are sure that you have the Navigator window open?

Hello traders,

This is my first post, I will try to be clear and explain briefly.
I use a script called Close them all, provided here by the user Tesla, which works like a charm. I used it a lot with my old mouse mx518, no problems. Now, Im trying to assing the hotkey alt+t, to my new mouse g700. For some reason MT4 is not recognizing the combination, but the other applications do recognize and run the keystroke alt+t when I press the button on my mouse.
So the only solution I see to this weird event, is assigning a different control hotkey other than alt. For instance, control + t.
The question, basically is, is this posible on MT4 for me to be able to trade qith my new g700 mouse?
Im open to any suggestions and thanks for taking your time to read my post.

Hello guys, Those scripts still work with MT4 even with the latest Build. I am still using them to close positions fast. Anyone on here still using those scripts? And can post any updated version or new scripts?
