Never noticed that before. Probably was included in the new updates.

Try running other scripts. It's possible that error-handling isn't done very well there.

All the other custom indicators I have loaded have been fine. The only ones That have not worked are the ones in this thread. Again, the only common factor is that they have 'EA' functions. In that they set prices/stoplosses themselves. Did you see my reply above regarding the script you added to the thread?

The only conclusion I can come to is that this brokers software is blocking EAs apart from the two it comes loaded with.

If you mean this post, you need to put scripts into the expertsscripts folder.

Yeah, figured I had made that mistake. That one works now (the one you posted).

To use do I simply drag over chart and it immediatly opens a buy order at the current price?

If so:

A) Is there a sell version? Or do I just edit the int OrderTypes line to 'int OrderTypes = OP_SELL;'?
B) Is below correct for tp 50, sl 30, lot size 1?


int OrderTypes = OP_BUY;
double Lots = 1.0;
int MagicNumber = 10;
bool MoneyManagement = False;
int Risk = 2;
bool UseStopLoss = True;
int StopLoss = 30;
bool UseTakeProfit = True;
int TakeProfit = 50;
bool UseBlockTrade = true;
double MaxLotSize = 9999;
int MaxTrades = 10;
int Slippage = 5;

If you notice, you can save multiple versions of this script, thus having buy and sell sides.

And yes, that's correct

Yep. Was just doing that very thing

Thanks for the script. Very usefull indeed!

OK. So, your script worked until I tried to change it as shown above. Now it no longer places orders. In experts I get:

2010.05.19 22:48:45 BUY Normal Risk EURUSD,M30: loaded successfully
2010.05.19 22:48:45 BUY Normal Risk EURUSD,M30: uninit reason 0
2010.05.19 22:48:45 BUY Normal Risk EURUSD,M30: removed

I am going to take a look at other MT4 trading software and see if that helps

What did you change?
  • #30
  • May 19, 2010 3:05pm May 19, 2010 3:05pm
int OrderTypes = OP_BUY;
double Lots = 0.1;
int MagicNumber = 10;
bool MoneyManagement = False;
int Risk = 2;
bool UseStopLoss = True;
int StopLoss = 30;
bool UseTakeProfit = True;
int TakeProfit = 50;
bool UseBlockTrade = true;
double MaxLotSize = 9999;
int MaxTrades = 10;
int Slippage = 5;

So, I changed stop loss and take profit to true, and added values.

For what its worth I get the same uninit reason (0) with all scripts on this page before the scripts is auto unloaded.

Just a thought, could this have something to do with 6 digit pricing? 1.74635 an so on. So I would need:

int StopLoss = 300;

For instance to stop at 30 pips?

A x digit broker is based on the number of digits after the decimal.

So 1.xxxxx is a 5 digit broker (for non JPY pairs)
and 1.xxxxxx is a 6 digit broker (for non JPY pairs)

But if you're having troubles, I'm not sure what's going on. It's working for me on my FXCM terminal

  • May 19, 2010 3:23pm May 19, 2010 3:23pm
Ah, I misunderstood the way the digits are counted. FXCM is a 5 digit broker then.

I'll keep at it. No idea why these scripts will not work. They just won't. Maybe i'll come back to it fresh in the morning.

Ronald,

I get errors when trying to execute a trade (buy or sell) on MB Traders Metatrader4 platform. Every time I execute a trade I get the following error:

2010.06.15 17:41:47 Script Sell with SL and TP without conf EURUSD,H4: loaded successfully

followed by:

2010.06.15 17:41:47 Script Sell with SL and TP without conf EURUSD,H4: removed

I'm no programmer so any advise is greatly appreciated. Here is the script I'm using...

Inserted Code

extern bool   UseStop = true;
extern bool   UseTakeProfit = false;
extern double StopLoss = 100;
extern double TakeProfit = 200;
extern string Note="0 in Entry field means Market Order Sell";
extern double Entry = 0.00000;

string Input = " Sell Price ";




//+------------------------------------------------------------------+

int start()
  {
  double Risk = RiskPercent / 100;
  if (UseMoneyMgmt)
    Lots = NormalizeDouble( AccountBalance()*Risk/StopLoss/(MarketInfo(Symbol(), MODE_TICKVALUE)),2); 
  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);
  }
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+

If you notice, I added an extra zero to the function extern double Entry = 0.00000; because MBT uses the 6 digit platform. I tried both 5 and 6 digit numbers with no success. Is there something else in this script that needs to be modified? I've tried many other buy/sell scripts and they all do the same thing. Everything in the MT4 platform is set up to use scripts. Do you have any idea what I might need to change to get this script to work correctly?

  • Jun 15, 2010 5:42pm Jun 15, 2010 5:42pm
MBT is an ECN broker which requires trades to be placed first and then the order modified with the sl/tp.

  • Jun 15, 2010 8:12pm Jun 15, 2010 8:12pm
Thank you, sir

I'll just have to use a lot calculator and make sure I add the extra zero on the end of my SL to adjust for the 6 digit platform.

This buy - sell order script without confirmation would be perfect for a hotkey trading setup. I will have to test it out.

Hi there,

One way might be to use a script such as the ones I have attached. One is for Buy orders and the other for Sell orders as the names indicate. Just open them, set the lot size, TP and SL you wish and save them in your Experts/Scripts folder. Then all you have to do is drag the appropriate script onto your chart and the rest is history. I have not used them but they should be fine. Test them on a demo first though.

Hope it helps,

Good luck

Hi

Does this script still work in MT4? It is exactly what I have been looking for but I an unable to make it work. Followed the instructions to the letter as far as I can tell though.

No, you didn't follow the instructions, but not all your fault as they are not that clear.

What he is saying when he says "Just open" is to open them with MetaEditor, change the settings to your desired options, compile and save as your own script with new name preferably.

That's what I did, works fine for me. The other thing is, you need to tick the "Ask manual confirmation" under the "Allow live trading" - then the trade box pops up, you still need to select the correct option of buy or sell, but at least the lot size is calculated for you as per your risk setting.

And you can can make as many scripts as you need, with various stops to suit the type of trading you are doing that day.

See the screen shots, much easier to make sense of it all.

Hope that helps, E.

To add on... Right click on the script in Metatrader and click "Set Hotkey" then you can set hotkeys for those trades.
thank you for script
