Here's a neat script that Tommaso (milanese) coded up for me the other day [ thanks bro! :hi: ]

Got tired of placing MANY pendings manually. So the script does the donkey work

The inputs are very straight-forward
Code: Select all
Lot = 0.50;                  # pending order lot size
Direction=1;                 # 1 = buy, 2 = sell
First_PendingOrder_Price=0;  # price to set the first pending order at
NumberOfPendingsToSet=5;     # number of pending orders to create
DistanceOrdersPips=20;       # distance between pending orders
MagicNumber=0;               # magic number of pending orders
TradeComment="";             # trade order comment for the pending orders 
ShowAlerts = false;          # set true to get an Alert on each successful creation
Script goes into your MQL4\scripts folder

Enjoy
Hi Dudest
Great tool, but can you add a Tp/Sl functin ?

Hi Mosek,

I *very rarely* use TPs, SLs

But @milanese should be able to mod it for you

Cheers

It is nromally risky to use with oending orders TP/SL as they could be easy filled far from the price(with news spiking ecc) you wanted them to fil.l and than a SL/TP calculated based on the pending price, would cause that the order will be closed by SL/TP hit directly after filling, better would be to use a trademanager like APTM
---> http://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3 ... =21&t=3482 , that would set after filling a SL/ and TP...
But if you insist that a script with SL/TP would make sense for you I will update the script later

Cheers

Tommaso

Yes, this script with sl / tp makes sense for me and I would be grateful for adding this feature.

Thank you

Here you go with your script:

New inputs are:

Code: Select all

extern string   gen1="----SL/TP inputs----";
extern bool    useSLandTP=true;
extern double  StopLoss=50;
extern double  TakeProfit=75;

useSLandTP set this to true for using the new SL/TP function enter your wished SL and TP pips and done....

Pending buys hit for AUDJPY

Yes, I was early placing orders yesterday trying to pick bottom but kept everything trusting the pattern so I have a nice stack going on now.
