MT4 Script with magic number and currency

Add a string extern for the Symbol,  use this extern instead of Symbol()  in the order send and use  . . .

MarketInfo(SymbolString, MODE_BID)   // instead of Bid

// and

MarketInfo(SymbolString, MODE_ASK)   // instead of Ask

 Please bear in mind that script will NOT work with an ECN type broker . . . .

Why doesn´t work the script with ECN broker?  

Click the link I gave and read some posts . .  that way you will learn.

Hello,

I read some posts. I understand that ECN broker don´t accept SL/TP in set order function. I use alpari and there works the script with TP/SL and magic number very good. But your changes don´t wor - better I think I made some mistakes. Can you take a look on the script? Thank you very much.

Compiling 'OpenOrder_ENb-nKopie.mq4'...

4 error(s), 1 warning(s) 

This you could have seen yourself if you did try to compile the code in MetaEditor 

 

 

string extern  ???????????? = EURUSD;    // not ....      extern string SymbolString = "...........";

 You didn't understand what was written in ECN ???

What if Digits ChartSymbol()  !=  SymbolString  ???

 

if (ord=="Buy" ) error=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY, Lot,MarketInfo(SymbolString, MODE_BID),slippage,SL,TP,"",Magic,3,Blue);

Why do you place a ' 3 '  in your OrderSend at that place ??

Your   slippage    = 3;  for a 5 digit account it is often too low.....

I don't think you understand the working of  your code

Hi,

first I want say - this is not my code and I´m not a programmer. I don´t know why there is a "3" in the ordersend  function.

I receive my signals from private indicators and then I must type my order manually in to MT4. It needs a lot of time so I was looking for a script which can do, what I do manually.

The script must set a market order without a limit. I use for every currency pair an own magic number for helping me later to select my orders. So I found this script in this forum. The only feature that is not included in the ea was that the functional currency pair that can be fixed in the order.

If I need a bigger slippage – OK, then I use a bigger slippage in the script.

But what is the problem with ECN broker? The links in the search function speaks about problems with SL and TP. it does not matter whether is only sent a market order and the sl / tp is set later or whether the sl / tp the same is entered into with the order.

So I´m looking for a script does what I need or I found a programmer who code the script for ne (I pay a fair price then).

Have a nice evening.

Base on your first attachment 

Change this :

extern int     stoploss    = 0,
               takeprofit  = 0,
               Magic       = 123456;
extern bool    SELL        = false,
               BUY         = false;
extern double  Lot         = 0.1;
extern int     slippage    = 3;

into this

extern string  symbols     = "";
extern int     stoploss    = 0;
extern int     takeprofit  = 0;
extern int     Magic       = 123456;
extern bool    SELL        = false;
extern bool    BUY         = false;
extern double  Lot         = 0.1;
extern int     slippage    = 3;

Change all the word

Symbols()

into

symbols

change the word

Ask

into

MarketInfo(symbols, MODE_ASK)

change the word

Bid

into

MarketInfo (symbols, MODE_BID)

And test this on demo first will you ?

@ phi.nuts

Thank you very much. Now the script works very good. But I need to confirm each order separately in a window. See screenshot. Can I disable this somehow?

@Raptor UK

Thank you too for the link. That's my 2nd way to solve the problem. I have enough ideas where I need professional help. :-) Now I translate the ideas into english.

 

Have a nice day. 

You probably have it set that way in the options  . . .  untick "Ask manual confirmation"
