cancelling all open trades.

[allanmurray55]

Hello everybody. I heard there is a way to cancel all open trades in mt4.

 This is because Ive run out of funds with many trades still open. I dont want to

deposit any more as these are large trades and will eat my money.

 Is there aaaaaaan indicator or something to multi close all trades in MT4??

 Thanks in advance..

Nothing wrong with using ask and bid, but there is no need to use them if you have just selected a trade, both buys and sells can be closed with OrderClosePrice().

I would advise that the code is written as a script. Otherwise, as an EA, if it is accidentally left running it will close all newly opened trades immediately  (when a new tick comes in).

There is no harm in writing this way, anyway
