A set of popular Forex scripts for MT4 - for all occasions!

Often in trading there is a need for some corrective action on the pairs chart in MT4 or to perform some small actions. Forex scripts help a lot with this.

What is a script and what is it for?

A script is a program for MT4 created to perform some one-time functionality. After applying the script to a specific chart, it is usually deleted. To use it again, you need to run it again.

I often use scripts to automate some scenario: for example, calculate the total loss or quickly place orders with a given lot, etc.

Script for closing a deal by time

The script closes an open order at a specified time, if it is a pending order, it will simply be deleted.

Script settings:

• Ticket — ticket of an open order;
• CloseTime – time of closing the transaction in the following sequence: 1970.01.01 00:00. To quickly change this setting, highlight and delete the default value, and then press Enter, the variable value will be filled with the current date, then change the date (time).
