Here is a script 'AutoAssignSlTp.mq4' that will do what you requested.



Set the Take Profit and the Stop Loss values in pips. (e.g. TakeProfit_Pips = 20 and StopLoss_Pips = 20).


If ApplyToAllOpenPositions is TRUE, then the script will automatically apply the T/P and S/L to all open positions. If set to FALSE, it will only apply to the open positions of the current symbol.

If either value is set is 0, it will ignore that value. E.g. if TakeProfit_Pips = 0, then it will not apply the TakeProfit_Pips and likewise for StopLoss_Pips.

This script will only apply S/L and T/P if they are not set (0). If an open trade has T/P or S/L, the script ignores that order.

Finstudio, thanks for your help, much appreciated. I will give this a try as soon as I have time.

btw, the other guy that uploaded that code, might you ask him if he could complicate that bloated code any more than he did?

i do not believe it is possible.

int init(){}
int deinit(){}

int set_profits()
{
int total,pos;

total=OrdersTotal();

for(pos=0;pos<total;pos++)
{
if(OrderSelect(pos,SELECT_BY_POS)==false) continue;

/*
i left out this part, cuz you were so awesomely rude.

dink.

*/


OrderModify(TICKET,OPENPRICE,STOPLOSS,TAKEPROFIT,EXPIRATION,CLR_NONE);


}//for



return(0);
}//set_profits


int start()
{

set_profits();

}//start

my bad.

i found it.
