Please help, I'm new to MT4. I can't get the "One Click Close All" EA to work on my platform.

 

Hi guys,

I'm completely new to MT4. I downloaded the "one click close all" EA and installed it but it doesn't seem to work. Any idea what may be the problem?

Any help/advice is appreciated. 

Thank you! 

 
Sorry, I should have added that it installed correctly (I think...) and the button does show up on the chart. But when I click it, nothing happens. 
 
Which service provider did you register with?
 

What did you install (the link)? and how did you install?
This tool?

It is the script (not EA).

If this tool is from this page https://www.mql5.com/en/code/22083 so let's install it:

I open MT4;

  • in menu: File - Open Data Folder;
  • find Scripts folder, and place close_All_Order.mq4 file to this folder;
  • restart MT4 or compile this file in MetaEditor.

And let's check about how it works - 

I see this script in Metatrader, I have open trade and I want to close it using this script:

So, I applied this script to the chart, and the trade was closed.
I had one trade. If I have many trades on same symbol/chart so this script wil close all of them by one click.


 
Hello. Why does the close order script not work in MetaTrader?
