script to place market order with TP and SL set

Rastarr · #1 (**permalink**) 10-17-2006, 08:26 AM

Hi guys,

I was wondering whether someone might quickly code up a script that will allow me to place a market order with a defined stop loss and take profit. I've included a feeble attempt below which doesn't seem to be working.

Any help would be fantastic

Code:

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Buy.mq4 |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
#property copyright ""
#property link ""
#include <stdlib.mqh>
#include <WinUser32.mqh>

double Lots=0.1;
int Slippage=3;
int TakeProfit=99;
int StopLoss=10;
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| script program start function |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
int start()
{
double MyStopLoss=Ask-StopLoss*Point;
double MyTakeProfit=Ask+TakeProfit*Point;

//----
OrderPrint();
OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,Lots,Ask,Slippage,MyStopLoss,MyTakeProfit,"Buy",0,0,CLR_NONE);
return(0);
}
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
