Sorry this didn't place any trades for me when I tested it.
int start() { //---- Open orders. if (BuyTrade == true) { if (Trade1 == true) { NTarget1 = Ask + Target1 * Point; OrderSend (Symbol(), OP_BUY, NumberOfLots, Ask, 5, OStopLoss, NTarget1); Trade1 = false; } if (Trade2 == true) {
I'm not an expert programmer nor do I totally understand Object Oriented Programming. However, my understanding is that the computer reads the program from the top-down and left-right. I don't see any external functions to change BuyTrade from false to True, Yet its the first line in your code. I suggest you find time for your trading or put it off till you can make time. This is just my opinion I'm not a Financial Advisor.

You have to change the external variable manually to true as well as which trades you want on and enter the stoploss.
For large amounts, attach the file.
- It wont do anything unless BuyTrade is true. It wont open a trade unless trade1..trade4 is true and those reset back to false once a trade opens.

I am new to mql4. I work 12 hours a day so i haven't had time to test this and i wrote it cos i don't have time to monitor my trades. It is meant to open 4 trades on a 4 digit broker. I know it opens the trades and the tp and stoplosses work but i don't know if the modify order will work properly. It is meant to adjust the stoploss to the open price plus 1 pip. Plus Order 4 is meant to Move the stoploss 150 everytime the price is 300 above the last stoploss. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
