Can't be done - the rules are the same as manual orders. Limit and stop orders have to be a certain gap from the bid/ask. There are plenty of scripts that will do that.

I have no intentions of looking at somebody's "special" configuration.

This thread is my first , and should by no means become a salesthread for Mb.

SO lets assume it can be done..

Here are two scripts: one for buy limit and one for sell limit. They will place a 1.0 lot pending order 1/2 way between the Ask and Bid for the symbol on your current chart. Look at Experts/Journal tab in the Toolbox for error messages. No input, just double click the script.

You did not specify anything about lot size, price, or error handling...so I kept it very basic.

Hi zznbrm, thanks for the scripts. I am also looking for a few other scripts for MB Trading MT4 and am wondering if you have them. These are:

1. Close and reverse
2. Close ALL
3. Market buy
2. Market sell

Thanks
