MT4 Problem with BUY script

New comment
 

hi.. I've modified the default script (trade.mq4) in metatrader platform to execute martingle based trade.. the condition is like below:

Starting lot: 0.1

Multiple: 2

Pips: 8

TP: 10

Max trade: 5

and here's the code..

The "OrderReliable V021.mqh" file must be in your /experts/include/ folder.

I do not like the Metatrader 4 Order window, and found some scripts to replace it. I placed the scripts in the Scripts Folder, but upon double clicking on one, It opens up like an EA but does not give me the expected Order window. I would like to still be able to press F9 and have the "Replacement" order window pop up. Please advise what i am not doing.

AFAIK, double clicking won't do anything, you need to drag it onto the chart. If your script executes order send/close/modify, you should get the relevant trade entry screen so that you can review and possibly change the order details before they go to the server. I've just started to do this myself so let me know if I haven't given you the right answer.
