Yes, I only tested short limit orders and they work fine.
I found the bug in the code.
It is corrected. To avoid misunderstandings, the latest version is 4.1


Thanks for your feedback.

Thanks for the great stealth tool.
I was wondering if it is possible to replace "[MARKET LONG]" with a simple box or something else easier to pick. On my chart there are couple of trend lines running across and sometimes it's hard to click on [MARKET......].

Or is it possible to control SL or TP after regular order is made?

regards
zanky

Clicking a button or other graphical objects in Mt4 is a problem.
You know that if you use the Fib-tool or other tools of Mt4 and there are MAs and S/R lines from other indicators. Sometimes it is almost impossible
to mark the Fib-tool, you always get the MAs or other lines marked.

I donīt know mql good enough to suggest a solution.
I would think of something like a box which is on top of the other lines on the chart (you cannot see those lines inside the box) and in that box I would place the buttons, then they should be clickable without any problems.
But it will need a search in other indicators and the mql forum etc. to find
out how to code such a box.

Another solution could be a separate indicator window where the buttons are placed ----> not other lines there, only the buttons.
But then somebody would complain that the indicator window takes away too much from the main chart.

When I find time I will search how to place a box which covers the chart and test if the buttons work in that box.

No.
I offered coders (there are many here who are better coders than me) to send them the mq4 if they would help to improve the EA, but nobody offered help, therefore I keep the source-code for myself.

The TP and SL lines can be moved with drag and drop.
That is the whole purpose of the EA.

But the SL-line is needed for the lot-calculation if you choose MoneyManagement.

Thanks for the quick reply.
I just hope you can make some modification because this is the best EA I ever came across. Thanks for your effort.

No, I meant after making a normal order (by not using your EA) with MT.

Hi fxtr51
your EA is working great.There are two suggestions please.
If market order tab is clicked accidently and even while holding down the mouse button there is no way to avoid sending the order unlike stop and limit orders.Also when first step of orders are placed there is no way of cancelling or choosing another without restarting the EA.

Secondly, is it poosible that after breakeven the stop loss is automatically moved to the entry position rather than breakeven position?

In other words, you want a popup-window where you can say "Yes" or "No" for the market order ?

I donīt understand what you mean.
The EA is built to manage 1 order , if you want more on 1 pair, you need to open another chart and attach the EA with a different MagicNumber to it.

You can choose where the SL-line goes at Breakeven. it is in the input.

This version prevents you from getting a market order
by asking you to confirm the market order in a dialog-window which pops up.

If you click on "NO", the EA will not send a market order.

Almost forgot to mention: This version has multiple TPs.
Default TP.
TP2
TP3

The multiple TPs only work in stealth mode.

hi
thanks for constantly evolving this EA.the pop up idea is great and so are multiple tps. i am also going to test the magic no. option and more than one Eas running.
please check the market order,the problem that is coming is that the market order instantly closes by itself.

I checked the market order. It works as it should.
Please download the latest version again.
I uploaded it again for you.

I am working on the buttons now.

If you placed orders manually, the EA right now cannot manage them. It needs another logic to do that.
Right now the EA is only managing orders placed by itself.

when i place the market order the trade closes immediately and following shows up in experts box in terminal.

Stealth_TradeManager_fxtr51_V5.1 EURUSD,M5: orderCloseReliable(): Permanent Error: 4051 invalid function parameter value. giving up.

Also there is another request.i have straddle EA which places only stop orders,can it be made to place limit orders as well.Can you make it stealth as well ?

wadera, the market order buttons work perfectly on my mt4.
Therefore I donīt know what causes the problem on your mt4.
Without more information I can do nothing.
I have no crystall ball.

any views on straddle ea ?

Modifying your straddle EA will take too much time.
I am busy with a lot of other things including trading my live-account.

@fxtr51

Thank you very much for this EA, one of the best "order/trading EA" I saw. A few things I mentioned.

- Is micro lots trading possible?! I trade no forex but cfds on indices (dax for example). On Dax we have a ticksize of 0.5. So I've done the following:

LotSize 0.10
Deafult_TP_Pips 800
Hide_TP_from_broker true
Deafult_SL_Pips 700
USE_Breakeven true
BreakEvenLockPips 100
Trail_after_BE true
TrainlingStopPips 100
CloseLots_at_TP 0.05

When I do a market long and the dax goes into profit and reacheas my Deafult_TP_Pips the EA closes the trade completely. What I thought it should do according to my settings is it should close 0.05 lots and trails the other 0.05. Did I something wrong with my settings?

Also I have to put in 800, 700, 100 as pip values in your EA. In every other this would be 80, 70, 10 (dax trades at 6197 for example, tick size 0.5, so next price above 6197 would 6197,5 next 6198 and so on).

- In above settings the BE line was shown 350 away from my entry?! What I thought according to the settings this should be 100 away, not 350.

- Move_Text_to_L_or_R is nice but can we use here negative values in order to set the text to the right (not to the left)? Tried it but text stays at actual candle (like it is when setting 0 here)

Thanks!
