This version has quite a few new feature, most noticeably the multiple orders.
In this version it is only possible to close the order fully but with future versions I hope to add the ability to add into positions and close partial positions at set levels. Also one feature that I’m looking forward to add is the ability to set levels at certain indicator values (hopefully version 3).

How to use description
The EA will fill out the description with the main order properties automatically depending on your current settings. If you move the horizontal lines then it will update the description with the new values. To make a multiple order, you need separate them using “,” and to have it a set level it needs to be in the following format “value in pips@level you want the value to change” without any spaces in. You can make as many lines as you need.
P.S. This version is by no means the last one, I’m working out bugs and adding new features weekly if not daily. I’ll only be posting the latest version to the codebase every so often so if wish to have the latest version or find a bug which may have been fixed in a later version then message me and i’ll send you the latest version. To me all feedback is good, tells me where things are going wrong. I’m going to try and make this EA as inclusive as possible and as bug free as possible.
