EASY ORDER Trade Management EA

[Tomi]

I don’t see any pending order and also when the price crosses the blue line no order is opened either

Barry, will you please check from expert/journal tab of metatrader to see if there are related error messages.

Hi Tomi,

There is an error message under journal which says: "EasyOrder_Submit" is not script and cannot be executed.

Hi Tomi,

There is an error message under journal which says: "EasyOrder_Submit" is not script and cannot be executed.

Somewhat similar issue was earlier with Paul:
http://itradeaims.net/forum/viewtopic.p ... der#p19124

Please follow suggestions to the letter and see if it helps.

Can Paul recall what was the issue and what was the exact correction? The thread won't tell that.

The error itself won't reveal the root cause. I would guess that files are in incorrect folder or something like that, but nothing exact comes come to mind. Please make sure that you have the latest metatrader installed also.

Hi Tomi,

Thank you for your reply and the link to the related post. As you alluded to the solution to my problem was not in the thread. I have checked that my files are in the right folders, I hope. I'll post the screen shots just for confirmation. I hope that Paul sees this thread and gets back us with his solution.

Thanks again.

Programmers fix these problems by iterating the process as long as the problems disappears (rofl) Humans have a tendency to change things a bit and in some iteration everything works. The human just won't know what was the actual fix as there was so many iterations and changes. Anyway, this was just my way of saying that sorry that I have no idea what is the problem.

EasyOrder is a plug-in that was created by someone in ForexFactory forum. You can try ForexFactory's original plug-in and see if that works. If the original won't work, you could ask for help also from FF forum.

Or Paul comes out of his foxhole, put on angel wings and save us.

Hello again,

I still can't seem to get the Easy Order Trade Management EA to work. I have tried the Easy Order Plug-in and it works fine.

I was looking at the Easy Order forum and somebody mentioned trying to compile the Easy Order script, which I did and I got 6 error messages as per the attachment. Unfortunately I am rubbish at coding. Can anyone shed some light on how to fix the errors. I have downloaded the files again and I still get the same compile error messages.

Many thanks.

Metatrader changed the compiler few releases ago. New compiler has different set of reserved words than the previous one.

You can compile the code by changing "delete" to for example "_delete". You have to change all reserved words.

Check these lines:
bool _delete;
_delete = true;
if(OrderCloseTime()==0) _delete = false;
if(_delete) ObjectDelete(obj);

Have fun!

Hi Tomi,

Thank you so much - that did the trick. (wd) The Easy Order Trade Management EA is now working. (whew)

Maybe you can help with my next problem. I have been using Darren's Trade Management EA to exit my trades (thanks Darren - great EA), but now that the Easy Order EA opens two trades, one with 1:1 TP and the other one with no TP, how do I assign Darren's EA to manage the trade with no TP. I know you must set the magic number in the input to "True", but how does one assign a particular open trade to a magic number if at all possible?

Thanks again for you help.

I know you must set the magic number in the input to "True", but how does one assign a particular open trade to a magic number if at all possible?

I'm not familiar with Darren's EA and what are all the requirements for it to perform its magic, but for purely metatrader issue you can't change magic number to open trades. Magic number is set when the trade is opened. You can't set that in metatrader UI. Magic number can be set only in script or EA code. If you open a trade from metatrader UI, the magic number will be always 0 (zero).
