Do anyone know of a EA where by if I have two accounts with different brokers and decide to buy say GBPJPY the EA will choose the broker that has the lowest spread.

Our dear Sangmane

Any chance of changing EasyOrder_Draw.ex4 so it is on a different ATR period.

Alternatively (knowing how busy you have been), perhaps you would very kindly distribute the .mq4 file so we can make the change ourselves.

Many thanks.

Kind regards
Robert

Hi, I'm looking to modify the distance of the drawn SL, TP and STOP orders levels. I tried modifying an old EasyOrder_Draw.mq4 file available in this thread but then the script doesn't work anymore. Basically Easy Order, out of the box, draws the 3 lines using the ATR of the time frame. I would like to use instead a fixed number of pips, Sangmane described how to do this at Page 9 of this thread, but probably I need a current EasyOrder_Draw.mq4 file. Can anyone, or Sangmane help me on this? Thanks a lot for the reply and for the free plugin!
I'm having the same issue: I cannot move the lines by hand, and actually also when I change the risk value in the box, the lines stay the same

This is a great addon Sangmane! Thank you!!!

Greetings,

I downloaded both zips on Page1 2015.04.08 and 22 respectively, which was a bit confusing.

First tried 08 but got message that it was under 'testing'. Then tried April 22nd version and got same message. To be clear I did download the .dll and put it into scripts folder, as well.

I'm running MT4 on Linux using wine. I hope that's not the issue though.



Thank you.

sangmane,

If this has been asked before, I apologize.

My situation is: if I have an input in my EA to AllowAutoTrading, and if it's false, I want to show the EasyOrder objects on chart, and if not, I don't want to show the EasyOrder objects on chart except for the SL, OP, TP that I always want seen (well, will probably make a user input to draw lines, or not, too).

I want to put the EasyOrder in my EA shell and have already put a Trailing EA in my EA to handle the trade after put on. So I only want the EasyOrder, if used, to put on trade and SL, OP, TP (first by manual lines if SL and TP are not ATR of 10 bars x 2 (meaning manually moved), and then by ATR of 10 bars x 2 if not there or not manually moved and not ATR of 10 bars x 2),

What specific funtion(s) should I call if I want to show ManualEntry window in top-left of window for manual trading?

What specific function(s) should I call if I want to use Automatic trading (using Automatic StopLoss method I give multiple choice to in user inputs) but want to draw lines using the automatic stoploss and takeprofit?

Also, is there a way in code to delete the EasyOrder window in top left of window?

Thanks for making this tool available to the community. AND for keeping it updated! May God Bless You!

Kindest regards,

Don

I recently installed the newest EO version to replace my old one when I mistakenly thought that the old one was no longer working (actual reason was missing EO_ALLOWTRADING). Now it seems to take every order at lot size of 0.01 but I actually want it to adjust the lot size according to my risk percent of cap which I set to 0.01 (2 orders at 0.05 each). Can someone please please help me fix this? I want percent wise risk, not fixed lot size.

In fact I thought I had fixed the issue but it has reverted back to fixed lot size again

Hi Sangmane, if possible please add a little option to this Script. Instead of calculating the lot based on capital percentage, it calculated based on the amount we're willing to risk. For example, if we put 10 in EasyOrder, it won't risking 10% of capital, it actually risking 10 USD instead. Thank you in advance Kang Sangmane

I downloaded all the files yesterday after reading this entire thread and I must admit I love it. I tried it out on the USD/CAD this am and it work flawlessly on my demo account and I just have to send kudos to Sangmane for taking the time to code ad freely provide us with this excellent script,

I have attached a jpg file showing the trade that it placed on autopilot and I am very pleased with the results.

ok so to continue with my testing I have basically place buy stop and sell stops using Easy Order for the USD/CAD and the USD/JPY based on simple break out will attach images of the screens for both and post results later today. These are just to show how easy it is to set a pending order thanks to Sangmane work on providing this script

Dear Coky

I am concerned about this because I want to move soon to real account, after 2-years on demo.

What is the point of getting used to a great script that easily places orders in my demo account, when I cannot do the same once I migrate to a real account. Would it not be better to use something else and get used to that, so I can have continuity when I switch?

Do you know why this script does not work on a real account and, if so, can you suggest any alternatives?. I would be surprised if there was anything else as seamless and convenient as Sangmane's solution.

Kind regards
Robert

Dear Robert52

Thank you for this. I already have the global variables set correctly.

My worry was that Coky also had these set but still could not trade on live account.

Coky - is this the case or has the EO_ALLOWTRADING variable solved the issue for you?

Kind regards
