Hi, looking for something that would allow me to auto set a fixed sl & tp on every trade. My entries are @ candle close instant and by time I set tp and sl price has moved on. Not a problem to edit if only one position taken but on a few different pairs simultaneously then its a pain ;)
I just want to be able to hit the buy or sell button and have an automatic 20pip stop loss and take profit attached at the same time. ie one click does it all.
I am new to MT4 so needs to be REALLY simple to set up ie idiot proof ;)
Any ideas appreciated, thanks :)

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

LOL !! Since he was "awesomely rude", you could have simply avoided posting or responding altogether !!
Seems like you are a person with an attitude.

zzzero, for "awesomely rude" why not take a look in the mirror my friend! You posted the pointless and offensive pic without cause, not I.
As for Finstudio's kind contribution ~ whether the code is complex or bloated I know not and care even less. What I do know is that it does exactly what I require, was posted with courteousness and for both I am most grateful to him.
I have no idea why u continue(d) to post after I thanked Finstudio and said it was what I was looking for.
Why not move along now, there's a good lad!😉

I, KIND SIR, HAVE BEEN ACCUSED AND CONVICTED OF BEING MANY DIFFERENT THINGS.
BUT, BEING A GOOD LAD IS NOT ONE OF THOSE THINGS.
GOOD DAY.

No error handling nor any validations.
Crappy newbie code.

i actually have been writing code since early 1983.
it would be a stretch to refer to me as a newbie.
my first computer was an atari 400.
i learned by writing atari basic and then i moved up to writing raw machine code.
in 1991, i was introduced to the C language.
i stated that i was leaving out a portion of the code, hence no error handling.
all of the UPPERCASE variables, such as STOPLOSS and TAKEPROFIT, would have been handled directly in the small block of code that i left out.
now, shall we continue the little pissing match?
or perhaps you might like to talk coding with somebody that actually enjoys coding?
regards,
edward/.
