Hello

I've searched around and I've not found a script for MT4 specifically which closes all trades on all charts immediately at whatever price. Has anyone got one?

This will help with testing EAs which work in strategies which work across multiple charts per terminal.

Thanks

Are you looking to close all orders placed by the EA on all symbols or do you want to close all orders regardless of who opened them ?

If you're looking to close one symbol regardless of who opened the order :

If you want to close all symbols, same function without the symbol condition :

void CloseAll()
  {
   int trade=0;
   closed=false;
   double price=0.0;
   for(trade=OrdersTotal()-1;trade>=0;trade--)
     {
      if(!OrderSelect(trade,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_TRADES))//if order select fails
        {
         Print("Order select failed in CloseAll() with error : "+(string)GetLastError());//tell me the error
         break;
        }
      // else if order select didn't fail
      else
        {
         price=0.0;
         if(OrderType()==OP_BUY)
           {
            price=Bid;
           }
         else
         if(OrderType()==OP_SELL)
           {
            price=Ask;
           }
         else
           {
            continue;
           }
         closed=OrderClose(OrderTicket(),OrderLots(),price,slip,Blue);
         if(!closed)
           {
            Print("Close order failed with error : "+(string)GetLastError());//tell me the error
           }
        }
     }
  }

I believe you get the idea.

Note that pending orders have to be deleted not closed (Use OrderDelete() instead of OrderClose() ) .

@ thrdel your code doesn't do what strontiumDog wants

he want to close all the orders "Simultaneously Immediately"

so with your code ("or any code") it's not gonna happen

B.T.W

you don't need to write:

      else
        {
            price=0.0;
            if(OrderType()==OP_BUY)
              {
               price=Bid;
              }
            else
            if(OrderType()==OP_SELL)
              {
               price=Ask;
              }
            else
              {
               continue;
              }
         closed=OrderClose(OrderTicket(),OrderLots(),price,slip,Blue);

you can simple write

      else
        {
         closed=OrderClose(OrderTicket(),OrderLots(),OrderClosePrice(),slip,Blue);

Hi qjol:,

Long time, how are we ?

Sure one cannot close " all orders simultaneously immediately " but hey, one can only assume he meant ASAP.

In regards to using OrderClosePrice(), I will test it to see if it works. So far I only used OrderClosePrice() after selecting the order from history .

If it works , it's new for me.

This my emergency close function(not a script) I have used this for years without fail in the tester and demo trading. Since I don't use MT4 for my live trading I can't attest to how it will work there.

Good Luck.

How can I close Big changes for MT4, [Archive] Learn how to

There is a way to close all trades asynchronously for up to eight symbols at once. Here are steps.

Make EA to apply a custom template to all charts upon init. This will remove any existing EAs that could interfere and replace it with an instance of itself to act as a worker bot.
Create a collection of symbols to be managed from the order pool.
Iterate over the symbols, sending them asynchronously to the worker EAs as strings via EventChartCustom
Each worker EA then calculates the net position of its symbol and sends the appropriate hedge order to flatten the position.
Since all workers can compute values and send hedge orders async -- all positions regardless of the quantity of orders will be netted to 0 lots at the same time provided the number of workers is greater than or equal to the number symbols and the number of symbols to close is less than or equal to eight.
All risk is eliminated instantly but there will be offset orders on the books to be dealt with. The manager EA will need to loop through all offsetting orders using closeby to reconcile the transactions as "closed by hedge" with the broker server. There is no rush to do so since all risk has been eliminated by step 5.

Note: It should go without saying that this method will not work with FIFO brokers.
