Is there a way to access partial close function in Mt4 interface
ROOI:
Now if I Close on the window the order will close even if there is no tick.The problem is you can't close a partial position on that window.Only the whole order,so if I want to close the order partially I need to open the Order Window like below
My problem is I don't like that big window I want a small window or a button or something but I have in the past made an EA that can do the job but needs a tick to run.
There has to be a different function activated for the button that the mt4 interface produces as apposed to what we code in the EAs
Is there a way I can access that function or how does it work as I have limited knowledge about coding but only some idea about the nuts and bolts of mt4.
Is there anyone that know the mt4 platform that well or where can I ask ?

Thank you for your time
If you put that previous robot OnTIck() code in:
OnTimer()
{
}Function then it does not need a tick anymore it will run on set intervals.

I see, Thank you very much for this info.
Would you mind helping as to how to update the code below please

Hi
I was wondering if anyone here might know the following or have a suggestion of how to do the following:
Say I open a postion using the MarketDepth Window by click buy like below
The trade will fill even if there is no tick that comes into the platform.The broker just needs to fill the order if possible at that price.Now if I Close on the window the order will close even if there is no tick.The problem is you can't close a partial position on that window.Only the whole order,so if I want to close the order partially I need to open the Order Window like below
If I click on the close button that window it partially close the size I wanted even if there is no tick that comes in.My problem is I don't like that big window I want a small window or a button or something but I have in the past made an EA that can do the job but needs a tick to run.
There has to be a different function activated for the button that the mt4 interface produces as apposed to what we code in the EAs
Is there a way I can access that function or how does it work as I have limited knowledge about coding but only some idea about the nuts and bolts of mt4.
Is there anyone that know the mt4 platform that well or where can I ask ?
