Pending orders DOWN – script MetaTrader 5

The “Pending orders DOWN” script sets a grid of orders below the current price.

Input Parameters

  • Gap for pending orders DOWN from the current price (in pips) – the distance from the current price to place the first pending order.
  • Step between orders DOWN (in pips) – distance between pending orders.
  • Type of pending orders DOWN – the type of the pending order (can be either Buy Limit or Sell Stop).
  • DOWN quantity – the number of orders to be placed.
  • Lots – the volume of each order.
  • Stop Loss (in pips) – Stop Loss value.
  • Take Profit (in pips) – Take Profit value.

The script ensures the fastest possible sending of trade requests to place pending orders due to the use of the asynchronous mode of trading operations:

   m_trade.SetAsyncMode(true);

Here is an example of sending requests for five pending orders:

At the beginning of script operation, the correctness of the specified volume of pending orders is checked:

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Script program start function                                    |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
void OnStart()
  {
//---
   if(InpLots<=0.0)
     {
      Print("The \"Lots\" can't be smaller or equal to zero");
      return;
     }
//---
   if(!m_symbol.Name(Symbol())) // sets symbol name
      return;
   if(!RefreshRates())
      return;

   string err_text="";
   if(!CheckVolumeValue(InpLots,err_text))
     {
      Print(err_text);
      return;
