Buy/Sell Script

  • #1
  • First Post: Feb 5, 2010 7:02am Feb 5, 2010 7:02am
Does anyone have a script for metatrader that when you are buying or selling, you can automatically put your profit target in.

IE...what I am looking for is that when I go long or short, the profit target of 5 pips (or whatever I put in) is automatically set.

Anyone ever hear of such a thing?

here you go
it's hard coded to 1 lot at 5 pips profit and 20 stoploss. Just open it up with the editor and make the changes to suit you. If you use 5 digit broker 5 pips is then 50 and 20 is 200.
Just another tip as speed is of essence make yourself a hotkey for buy and one for sell you will be lot quicker to collect those pips

rapidFx, open script with editor and change

double lots = 1.00;
to
#property show_inputs
extern double lots;

compile and you are done.

if you wonna input stoploss and takeprofit then make changes from

double stopsize = 50;
double profsize = 20;
to
extern double stopsize;
extern double profsize;

Anyway for scalping you have the input numbers already in the script you'll be alot quicker

Hi rapidfx,

I wish the script attached could help you achieve what you have been looking for.

Simply adjust the parameter inside the script to your likings.
The defaults are as below;

double Lots = 0.1;
int NumOfOrders = 5; // number of orders to open. Make sure it is not more than the arrays for take profit and stop loss
int OrdersTP[5] = {10, 10, 15, 20, 30}; // take profit values for the orders
int OrdersSL[5] = {50, 50, 50, 50, 50}; // stop loss per order
int NumOfAttemptsPerOrder = 2;



Cheers,
~profi~

Hi rapidfx,

You have to edit the script parameter to suits your requirement from Metaeditor.

Window box will not appear as the parameter are not set as "extern". This is a script and we would like it to execute immediately once being called (using HotKey) or drag&drop on a chart.

Here an example how to edit the script based on your earlier requirement ;

double Lots = 1.0;
int NumOfOrders = 10; // number of orders to open. Make sure it is not more than the arrays for take profit and stop loss
int OrdersTP[10] = {10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10, 10}; // take profit values for the orders
int OrdersSL[10] = {20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20, 20}; // stop loss per order
int NumOfAttemptsPerOrder = 2;


Please make sure you already tick (Allow Live Trading) box from Expert Adivsors Tab under Tools --> Options.

Hope this will help you

Cheers,

Is this script or EA?

It is a script.

An EA generally trades automatically, a script just does a function based on user input.

There are exceptions though.

Hii profi4554,

Can you help me if I want a script with below conditions..

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Multiple Pending Buy Script
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Parameter : Open Buy Stop with Hard Coded Price (Ex. 1.2840)
- Parameter : Level (Ex. 10)
- Parameter : Increment (Ex. 20)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Multiple Pending Sell Script
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Parameter : Open Sell Stop with Hard Coded Price (Ex. 1.2820)
- Parameter : Level (Ex. 10)
- Parameter : Increment (Ex. 20)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So the Script will automatically Open Next Buy Stop and Sell Stop for every 20 pips until 10 Levels..
Many Thanks Before..

Hello danzka,

You can try below scripts. I have edited to include SL and TP when sending orders instead of modifying after. Just open the source code to edit the values.

Thanks

{quote} found some in here https://www.forexfactory.com/thread/...buysell-script works fine in non Lux account, but in Lux it seems that the script put order first then modify the TP SL later I tried mess around with the code to send the order along with the TP SL but I can't get it to work oh well time to look for another prop
