Draw arrow on trade exit

[redart77]

HI,

Looking for a way to have MT4 draw an arrow on the chart when you exit a trade via the Terminal window. If the exit is via an EA then the ObjectCreate function will achieve this, but what if I want to exit the trade manually ?. Any way to add a marker/arrow at the exit point ?

Thanks.

There are no default option that I'm aware of. You'll want to code an Indicator or something which creates the objects for you.

Write the code to do it.

    static datetime lastClose;  datetime lastClosePrev = lastClose;
    for(int iPos=0; iPos < OrdersHistoryTotal(); iPos++) if (
        OrderSelect(iPos, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_HISTORY)  // Only orders w/
    &&  OrderCloseTime()    > lastClosePrev             // not yet processed,
    &&  OrderMagicNumber()  == magic.number             // my magic number
    &&  OrderSymbol()       == Symbol()                 // and my pair.
    &&  OrderType()         <= OP_SELL // Avoid cr/bal forum.mql4.com/32363#325360
    ){
        lastClose = OrderCloseTime();
        draw your arrow

Thanks for the replies guys. Got it done using the OrdersTotal function in an Indicator as follows :-

 if (OrdersTotal() == 0)
   ObjectCreate("exit", OBJ_ARROW,0,Time[0],Bid);
   ObjectSet("exit", OBJPROP_ARROWCODE, 3);
   return(0);
