Cannot open file 'C:\Program Files (x86)\XM MT4\MQL4\Scripts\EasyOrder.ex4' [2]
Go to each of the EasyOrder scripts in the Navigator, and right click -> modify. When they open in the MT4 Editor, press F7 to compile them. This makes the missing .ex4 file. Then it will run fine

There is an EA somewhere in the attachments which takes care of starting the scripts. Actually, just as easy for me to post here. Put this in the MQL4/Experts folder and start it from there. Be sure to check live trading if need be.

Thanks sangman. I have those files already but I have noticed that there have been posts relating to improvements like the addition of a settings file and a stealth mode. I have tried the settings file in the experts folder and script folder and cant seem to get it to work. I have automated trading and experts activated in my options. I would like to be able to set a trailing stop, move to BE and close a % of the order at a specific point. Can this script do that?

This order panel is wonderful.
However, just one problem.
It seems to calculate trade lot size at quite a bit less than the risk would dictate
My risk is set to 1% but pending trade trade size is smaller than it would be if I use any other calculator.
Does anybody know if there is a reason for this?

My account currency is GBP and I use a 5-digit broker

Hi Robert,

Update your EasyOrder_Submit script file:
1. Close MT4
2. Delete EasyOrder_Submit.mq4
3. Replace existing EasyOrder_Submit.ex4 with the attached file.

Best,
S

Dear Sangmane

Thank you so much for this. I tried it on a number of different pairs and the risk calculation was spot on.

A truly elegant and uncluttered solution to a problem I am sure many of us have had.

Thank you once again
Kind regards
Robert

Dear Sangmane

When in an MT4 chart, if I press the End button, it moves the chart to the end point (last candle).

Do you by any chance have a short script that will do that for all currently open charts? So, if I have for example, six charts open, all will be moved to the "end"

I hope you do not think this a liberty to ask but your code works so well.

My thanks and apologies
Kind regards
Robert

I just realised that autoscroll setting actually does this by itself.

Please ignore my previous post.

just what I'm looking for but it won't load in my mt4, error says cannot open file in etc ?


placed the dl file in mql4/libraries and the other files in mql4/scripts shut down and restarted but when I try and attach nothing appears on screen?

getting these errors when I try and compile?
'EasyOrder.mq4' EasyOrder.mq4 1 1
function must return a value EasyOrder.mq4 15 3
function must return a value EasyOrder.mq4 21 3
'delete' - name expected EasyOrder.mq4 38 7
declaration of 'ticket' hides global declaration at line 8 EasyOrder.mq4 40 6
'=' - operand expected EasyOrder.mq4 44 11
'=' - object pointer expected EasyOrder.mq4 44 11
'=' - operand expected EasyOrder.mq4 49 36
'=' - object pointer expected EasyOrder.mq4 49 36
')' - object pointer expected EasyOrder.mq4 51 13

I made the mistake too of using the older download but still getting loads of errors when I try to compile them ? the one that did compile easy order.mql, that made and ext file ok

Dear Sangmane

I have just discovered that the Easy Order script appears to work on Indices and Metals, as well as Forex.

If correct, this is a superb and universal tool for submission of orders.

Stunning work.

Kind regards

Hi Robert/All,

I have been using it on the likes of DAX, WTI & XAU for some time - it is excellent.

I should say that I calculate my own lot sizes, though. My account is in AUD & I couldn't agree with it. Might try the later submit script posted by Sangmane, but I'm happy to calc my trade sizes manually or on my own spreadsheet.

Slightly off-topic but significant for me is that I could previously never get Easy Order and even simple settings (eg Fibo levels & colours) to stay working for a whole session (scripts would fail to work & indicators would return to default settings). This appears to have been cured by my new desktop computer, which has a super-speed 16Gb of memory and a 500Gb solid state C drive.

Congrats and thanks again to Sangmane for his excellent script and support.

Cheers,
Hugh

Hi fredfred and Bomi,

It seems you download the old versions. Please do the following :
1. Important! Delete all EasyOrder related scripts (mq4 and ex4) from scripts folder
2. Download EasyOrder script files attached to this post and place them to scripts folder
3. You can keep existing EasyOrderd.dll file

Dear Sangmane

Is it feasible for Easy Order to show the pips distance from price for both the SL and TP lines?

This would be very helpful when calculating the risk-reward ratio on a trade.

Many thanks for your consideration.

Kind regards
Robert

Dear Sangmane

I just thought that I may have been unclear with my previous message.

What I am suggesting is that the pips from price are displayed just below the SL line and just above the TP line.

So, they are not on the dashboard, just displayed visually below and above the two lines.

Obviously, they would display differing values as the lines were dragged up or down.

This is just a suggestion. I know how busy you must be so I genuinely do not wish to impose on you.

Kind regards
Robert
