i am also getting this message; "Sending Order Failed-Off Quotes"
i have not changed Anything that i know of that would cause these Messages
on MBT, i will keep Checking against other ECN Brokers i am using to see if there is Anything Different in any settings.

I have been Testing Non Stop for the last 14 hours and whatever was going on with MBT Demo seems to have fixed itself as far as using EasyOrder, i have placed about 12 trades during that time and EasyOrder has Executed Perfectly.
I Really do not understand why i was getting the above mentioned Messages on that platform from sunday through monday evening EST.
There was at least 24 hours at the beginning of the trading week that i was having these troubles, then it stoped and it is working Great for the last 12 hours.
If Anyone could possible shed some light on why MBT Metatrader 4 Demo Environment might have been doing this please share your knowledge, i am confused to why it happened during that time.
Like i said earlier in the above posts All Settings, Indicators and EasyOrder on 3 ECN Brokers were all the same, and i only had trouble with MBT's platform during that period i mentioned.
I just do not want to have this problem happening when i use EasyOrder during Future Live Trades.
Thanks in Advance for any info on this matter.

Sounds like a problem with mbtradings platform. You will probably be better served by contacting their support or posting in their forums.

I searched the thread for this could not find
I would like to disable the TP/SL cause I open .3 lots and have an ea that closes 1/3 at 1 point and so on plus moves up the TS once BE+5
any way to do that. What I have been doing is removing the script once trade opens but I use stops so I might not be at the computer when it does it's thing

Hi Sangmane, Really like this script. I have an issue when using it on instruments where the price is in one or two decimal places (Gold, sp500,Dax). For a limit order no orders are placed and I get Sending order failed: Invalid stops. For a buy market the buy order is placed but no SL or TP and I get Modifying order failed: no error. I guess something to do with the deciaml places but I'm no expert. If you can fix this this will be my favourite script in metatrader. Thanks!.
Sangmane, I have resolved this one. It was because sp500 price is in multiples of .25 so the value of the lines (price, tp, sl) where not valid unless it was at .25 .50 etc. I did a check on the symbol and some rounding now it works perfect. Great script thanks Sangmane.

Well, i have not had any problems with using EasyOrder, except that one day i mentioned in the above posts on MBT Demo, it must have been a problem on that day Only with MBT Demo, i had No problems with other broker platforms during that time.
The EasyOrder is a Great Script.
Thanks to Sangmane.
I have a Question on how to Disable the Arrows EasyOrder generates upon Entry.
Can anyone tell me how to do this, i would like to keep the Arrows off the Chart,
i usually have to remove them via Objects.
i am not good with code yet, so i need some help with this, i am using EasyOrder March 16 version on page 1.
Thanks for any help.

Dear Sangmane
i would like to thank for your creating this wonderful tool

just to share with some other newbies like myself in using script certain issues i faced which i resolved :

i attached the files as per instructions but when i execute the orders, i get this message from alert box

sending order failed : trade is not allowed in the expert properties

i realized later on i need to check the boxes under Options/Expert advisors and tick "Enable expert advisors" and tick "Allow live trading" and "Allow DLL import"


thanks so much again for making this tool which is extremely useful for traders like me who trade on breakouts

could anyone point out where i can disable the Entry Arrow that posts on the Chart that EasyOrder displays upon Entry.
cannot seem to find it, if someone could post the part of the code where i can do this, i would like to keep the Arrow off the Chart.
Thanks in Advance.

@ BigSkinnyJoe...never had a Problem with this Script with Malware, i do not think you will find anything like that with this Script, it is a Great Script, i Positive you will Find it useful, it is Clean from malware from my scans, as i check everything out before letting it enter my Computer.
but, just scan it for your own assurance if you want to.
I Love this Script, just want to disable the Entry Arrow it places on the Chart.
Good Luck.

Hi Sangmane,

I was directed to here by Gamma in Steve's Forex Trading Forum.

I'm looking for a simple tool for my trade execution. Below is what i'm after:

Assuming i have balance (regardless of currency) of 1,345,000 in my account.

When i double click the BUY (same for SELL) script, it should do the following:

1. To arrive the trading lot size, the script should divide the balance in the account by 10,000. Using the above example, the trading lot size should be 1,345,000 / 10,000 = 134.50 standard lots. However, my broker's max trading lot size per trade is 100.00 lots. Therefore, the script should be able to divide the total lot size into two equal trades (divisible by 2), if the total trading lot size is greater than 100.00 lots. So the script should send two (2) trades of 67.25 lots each.

2. After successful execution of trades, the script would immediately put stop loss of, for example, 5% of balance in terms of pips. The script should give me the freedom of adjusting the risk % to my liking.

3. I then need a Close All function, in addition to close trades selectively.

I believe that what you have posted in Post #1 can do what i wanted. Can you, or anyone, advise on how i shall go about it. I've read the thread to gain an understanding of how it works. But i like to know your comment. I will play around with the attached on demo tomorrow to gain the feel of it.

Many thanks.

Nice program!
1. I need to understand the Risk settings. I want to know how to set it for an exact # of lots. When I put in 2, it'll make an order for 2.12-2.34, not 2 lots. Can I ask it to open a trade with a SL equal to 2% or 3% of my equity? How?

2. When trade closed due to SL or TP, the lines do not disappear. It's hard to get them to go away. Any tricks?

Thanks,

Rick

@ beegsfnb....with EasyOrder loaded on the Chart, Right Click on EasyOrder and
you will see a Check mark by Risk Based...Click on Risk Based and Check Mark will be removed and you can now set EasyOrder for lot size you want, just select buy/sell and put the lot you want in the Field, then cancel order and it should be set, that should be default lot size now until you change it.
Remove lines by Right Click on EasyOrder and click on Refresh Lines.

Hi Sangmane,

A friend of mine introduced me to your easy order plugin and I was extremely impressed. My problem is that I have downloaded all files to the necessary folders and they do appear on my platform. My problem seems to be when I try to drag it over to my chart nothing appears. I have repeated the process many time including restarting the computer. Any suggestions?
