How I can close ALL orders when the total profit of all the open orders reach X$.
Yesterday I had 4 open orders, when I reach X profit the EA close only the 1th, 2th and 3th orders, then the 4th order continues and the EA close it when it reach the X profit.
I want to close ALL the orders simultaniusly.
Hello
Did you placed the expert on a separate chart or on one of the already open charts ?
Also I noticed that it might not be functioning for 5 digit brokers , any feedback ?
Pending orders
It would be nice if the EA could also set TP and SL on pending orders before they activate.
i have put the EA online.
thx for the share _ will keep you updated
I need help please
What it is:
Below, you'll find my Swiss Army EA. I've designed it so that it can manage orders in your MT4 terminal using a large variety of methods. Features includes breakevens, trailing stops, setting/removing for takeprofits and stoplosses, and many close-out conditions; you also have ability to tell the EA which orders it can manage. This EA is an attempt to do away with little scripts for deleting orders and whatnot and just put ALL that crap in one nice package. I figure this EA should be useful for manual traders, and may also to augment EAs that are skimpy on their features, although I cannot guarantee that it will be fully compatible with all EAs.
How to use it:
Apply it to a chart. The orders that it is allowed to manage can be changed by changing the "Specific" options. It will perform trailing stops, breakevens, or closing of orders (as specified by user) for whatever orders it is allowed to manage (also specified by user). For example, if Swiss Army EA is allowed to manage all orders and you enable the trailing stops to 30, it will apply a trailing stop of 30 to all orders in your terminal. The EA will print to the screen what it is allowed to do, so that should help you along in figuring out what it is doing. Each instance of Swiss Army can only hold a certain number of settings without causing conflict within itself. If you require many different management features to be enabled, you may have to run another instance of Swiss Army to do everything that you want. Remember: You need one CONDITION, one ACTION, and one ORDER TYPE, at least.
What I need from you, the user:
If you want to use the EA, but don't know how to get it to what you want, post and ask me about it. I'll be able to provide you with a list of settings to use if the EA currently supports it. Please leave feedback and tell me what kind of management options you'd like to see in future versions; feel free to post any scripts, code, or functions that you believe would be useful.

New Features for Version 1.51 (June 26, 2007):IMPROVED: The actions that appear under ths "Modify Orders" section can now modify pending orders
IMPROVED: TakeProfits and Stoplosses, when set, will be applied to any hedge orders that are opened by Swiss Army
CHANGED: TakeProfits and Stoplosses, when set, will be in relation to the order's open price, NOT the current price (as in v1.5)
NEW FEATURE: RequireAllConditions when selected, will require that all selected conditions be met before actions will occur. For example, if a drawdown of 1% and Time_Activation at 12:30 are selected, actions will occur if at 12:30, if there is a drawdown of 1% or more.

Questions and Answers for v1.51 (First time users should read this part):
Swiss Army DOES NOT trade. It does not place any order according to any strategy, nor does it use indicators for any reason. It's sole purpose is to "manage" trades that already exist on your account.
The trailing stop is always X pips BEHIND the current price, X being the number that you specify.
This is not how the Breakeven feature works. The Breakeven feature can only be activated once, and after that, it will no longer modify the stops.
Breakevens and TrailingStops are two different methods for managing the orders' stoplosses.
Because "BreakEvenAt" is at 10, when an order is profitable by 10 pips, its stoploss will be set to the open price (which will make it "breakeven") The "BreakEvenSlide" at 20 will move the "breakeven" point 20 pips higher than the order's open price, which, in this case, is not possible; therefore the "BreakEvenSlide" input must always be less than the "BreakEvenAt" input.

KNOWN BUGS for v1.51:
"Largest Recorded" statistics are not calculated.
Actions not fully executing for some conditions (due to time lag)

WISH LIST (whenever I get around to them):
Day of Week selectable for Time_Activation
Specific Orders selectable as an "Order Type"
Margin Statistics on screenHi. I just joined this forum today Wednesday 26th May 2010. I am not new to Forex, but I think I need the Swiss EA. Kindly point me to the latest version and how I need to download, and also the instruction to use the EA.
I trade with FXCM using the FXCM trading station platform. I guess the EA cannot work with that. I may have to move to MT4 or MT5 I guess. Pls, advise. All I want is flexibility in my order management. Thanks
Please i need help fast
I just opened a MT4 account with FXCM and I want to load the Swiss Army EA onto it to help manage my orders which I will place manually. is there anybody in the community here that can help me with step-by step information on how to achieve this? I am profitable trading the forex manually to some extent, but at this stage, I need an automated order management EA. And I am not very familiar with MT4 either. Pls, help.

Hi,
I have just started testing of swiss army 1.5V and have the following questions:-
1. Which is the best broker on which this EA can be used?
2. Dose this EA works on other pairs EUR usd, USDJYP, and other majors.?
3. Are there any optimized setting for this EA and if yes can you post it.
Thanks and that all for now
Closing orders in different pairs
Hi,
I'm having the same problem Gitaniko had. I have different orders (different pairs) and I want to close them ALL (not only the ones in the pair I'm running the EA) and it doesn't seem to work.
Have you had any luck with this?
Thanks in advance.
Close All based on Total Profit in Money
hi ryan,
i am among people who are asking the same question. how do we use the ea to watch the total profit (in money) and simultaneously close all open positions once the total profit reaches the preset value.
thanks for explaining.
i use interbankfx and using TP 20 and stop 40, the trade is cloing at -20 (2 pips). But 20 is the TP, not SL.
any idea of what is this problem? thanks in advance.
