EASY ORDER Trade Management EA

[Darren]

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).

Sorry for not replying, but Tomi seems to have answered just as I would have done - thanks Tomi! :-bd

I use some scripts to enter a magic number but won't share as they are a bit complicated to use. Maybe Steve's new FMT (or whatever it is called!) will enable you to enter your own magic numbers, but I am not sure as I do not have it yet!

Thanks Tomi and Darren for you replies.

I have been testing your EA, Darren, together with the Easy Order EA which opens two trades. So far things seem to be working fine with the 1st trade closing at 1:1 and the second trade being managed by the EA closing on the close of green line or fractal stoploss.

Using these two EA's does make life a lot easier when opening trades and stress free regarding the exit of the trades.

Thanks again.

I put the easy order files in the scripts files C:\Program Files\XM MT4\MQL4\Scripts
and the dll in C:\Program Files\XM MT4\MQL4\Scripts\Examples\DLL\Libraries
I have the same problem with ''Easy order_submit is script and cannot be executed''

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!

I tried these changes and I still get the error message. Much help will be appriciated

This is a very old thread, not sure it works anymore due to metatrader updates. We now use ATM from steve www.for-exe.com

I haven't used Easy Order for a long time but I have just checked my version and they place orders and move the order lines perfectly. You need to make sure all of the scripts compile successfully in MetaEditor and you also need to put the scripts and dll in the right directory, which it looks like you haven't!

From your Metatrader platform go to 'File' then 'Open Data Folder' and you will need to put the files in the relevant subfolder ('Scripts' and 'Libraries') within 'MQL4'. They do not go in under 'C:\Program Files\...' as that is the old Metatrader directory structure.

Cheers.

PS: You should get ATM from Steve as it is totally awesome and a lot easier to setup than EasyOrder!!!!
