Place order template with risk and S/L and T/P
Hello,
Ok I am new to metatrader and forex in general. However I was wondering if there is some kind of template when placing order where you
specify s/l in pips and t/p in pips instead of price? And then this setting used on every trade until you say otherwise?
Reason for asking is I am testing a theory but it takes to long time to use keyboard and enter s/l and t/p
Cheers
It is standart function in window wear you open order.
Then maybe we are using different version of metatrader? I have to specify price increase/decrease.
What I want is a input like "specify in pips stop/loss"
Then the price is automaticly adjusted and I open a position....
It is standart function in window wear you open order.
- Search the code base there's probably scripts to do that.
- Instead just place the order without stops. Then (with options -> trade -> On Click trading enabled) you can drag the order up and down to set the stops. The text on the line shows how many points and currency it is.
- You could also use 'Money Manager Graphic Tool' indicator by 'takycard' for MetaTrader 4 in the MQL5 Code Base (for example) which allow you to place the SL where it needs to be and it can recalculate the lot size based on the placement and risk amount.
