hey guys,
I have developed an EA for opening news time pending orders. You can set pending orders for a few pairs without attaching the EA to the chart.
You can open all types of pending orders. Suppose there is a news on USD, then you select USD as News Impact Currency and set True for Open Trade for Majors and Minors then pending orders will be opened for "EURUSD","GBPUSD","USDJPY". If you don't want to set Expire date of any pending order then set Expiration Time=0 otherwise specify your desired time in minutes. Set Open trade in this chart to True for opening pending orders for this pair.
If you want to open 3 Buy Limit and 3 Sell Limit order then set Number of orders to 3.

Please give your feedback to improve the EA.

Update v1.6:
Trailing Stop Feature Added.

Please set order distance from current price at least 2 pips more than the spread.
When market is volatile and price moves faster, this problem occurs.

Did you change default setting ??

Make Sure You have enabled Auto Trading in your account. Tools-> Options-> Expert Advisors-> Allow automated trading (Check that box).
When you are attaching the EA to a chart enable Live trading. Common-> Allow Live Trading (Check that box).

If somehow pending order couldn't be placed, because of some error you will get an alert for that.
If you get no alert that means EA didn't run or there was some problem with your setting.
If you use default setting and attach the EA to EURUSD chart then it should open 12 pending orders.
4 pending orders for each of the following pairs- EURUSD,GBPUSD,USDJPY and 1 pending order of each type Buy Limit, Sell Limit, Buy Stop and Sell Stop.

It's grey, because you don't have .mq4 file, i mean the source code.
.ex4 file should be enough to execute the program.
I don't understand why it's not working.
Can you give me a screenshot of EA settings ?

by EA settings,did you mean this??

i've tried everything,I think it's the .MP4 file you said.I read somewhere MT4 should work fine without it and some times it makes it from the .Ex4 file.apparently mine doesn't work without it.
is there anyway to make it manually or copy it from somewhere?(I have no idea about script writing so it's just an idea )

No, i didn't mean that by EA setting.
OK, i'm giving you another sample file.
If it works well, you should get 3 alerts.
If you don't get any alert then tell me.
By the way, this is the same file with a little change.

Hello, rofi,
how working this EA?
You habve only int OnInit() handler,
but no any OnTick(0 or timer event hanbler.
U can only one time start
CheckCurrencyPairs();
SetTrailingStop();
DeleteOrders();

not continuously. It was your idea or mistake?
