Script that waits for a specific price?
Have you read some codes? You can find heaps examples in MT platform.
Hi all,
I'm new to programming and also new to forex trading... please bear with me! What I'm trying to do seems really simple and I would think there would be a script out there already for it but I can't find any. Basically, I just want to create a script to trigger a buy (or sell) when the price reaches a set value; this would be essentially the same as placing a limit order except that it would work regardless of whether the price was above or below the ask price. At first, I thought an EA would be the way to go but I only want to execute it once. Anyway, has anyone already done this? Or is it not possible for a script to continually watch the price? Thanks!
