Looking for a script that will run multiple scripts

I am looking for a script that can run multiple scripts with one click.
I want to be able to tell it which combination of scripts to run.
Maybe an entry field where you can input the script names.

I basically want to tell it to run 4 separate entry order scripts at market with different Stops and Take profits.
I want to be able to enter at one price with 4 separate lots so I can trade them independently of each other.
Unlike entering a single order of 4 lots.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Should be relatively easy to get 1 script to do that ... i.e. it would open 4 orders with the same price but you could enter the different SL & TP prices when you initiate the script.
Hope that makes sense... would that work for you?

That would work as long as they could be preset.
This will be used for a new scalping method, so timing is important.
It needs to be preset so you can just fire off 4 orders.
I am using IBFX's Quick Buy/ Sell script, but by the time I drag it to a chart 4 times the price has already moved to fast. It is close but even a few pips screws up the methodology.

Ninja trader has preset money management strategies, ie... X amount of lots with stops at A,B,C etc.

Thanks for responding!!!!

I was thinking of renaming the Quick Buy/ Sell to 4 different names and have a script run those 4?.....

Attached basically what I was thinking.
Unfortunately my coding abilities are not great!!!

It half works in that it sends the orders but unfortunately it does not enter the SL & TP levels for some reason ??? Think it should but as I say I am not good at coding!

Hopefully someone will help and point out the error in the coding .. PLEASE!!

I have some thoughts on this but I am at work. I will look again this evening/ weekend.

Thank you very much for your help with this!!!.

If you have an ECN broker, you cannot set the TP/SL in the market order. You have to modify the order once its been accepted. Easy to do, just look at other ECN code on this forum.

Here are the InterbankFX single order scripts.
One item is that they have no external inputs so that you click once.
This works for me as I will have presets and can compile if I modify.
I wonder if we can get one of these to work with multiple orders?

Codemeister .. thanks for that.


Code now amended so does what you asked for.

**** NB. It is pretty rough in that it does not check for wild inputs but play with it and amend to your needs.

Set the Lots, no of orders etc to your normal requirements before compiling
(I have the array as 2 dimensional .... sure that should not be needed but when I looked earlier the single array was not passing the values)

Very nice futurespec!
One last piece of the puzzle - can the SL & TP be changed for amount of pips vs set price? e.g. SL 10,20,30,40 / TP 20,25,30,50 etc
That way it can be set to a default instead of having to enter the price each time.
This is going help so much.
I appreciate your help
Thank you

Here you go....

*** NB: As I said from the start I am not a coder ****

It is not optimized for speed, there is no significant error checking, YOU USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!
