Placed By Expert

New comment
 

I have a SCRIPT that opens a Buy order via OrderSend. Then calls OrderModify to set SL and TP.

When I hover over the new position in the Terminal window, it shows "Placed by expert". There is no Expert ID shown.

Since I am opening the position manually, why does it show "Placed by expert" ??

You are not opening manually, you a using a SCRIPT.
 

Oops, my mistake.

So as far as Metatrader is concerned, placing a trade with a script is the same as placing a trade with an EA.

And that's why the position shows "Placed by expert" ?
