Default stop-loss

New comment
 
Hi
I could not find the way to set default Stop-loss and Take profit?
Maybe someone could help me.
For example when I enter a trade the programm should automaticaly
enter pre-set Stop-loss and Take profit.
Lets say 30 pips from filled price.
Thanks

There is no such a feature in MetaTrader 4 Client Terminal. But you can write your own expert for this.

This is my code for use as a script file. I assigned ALT +B for buy and ALT +S for sell. The used to work, but haven't since a few releases ago. If any great programmer type would have look to see if they cold be fix, that would be helpful. (UPDATE JUNE 16 2006 The scripts are working again!) Copy the code and make your own script using MT4 MetaEditor..
