It's a little more complicated than I need... plus brings up lots of popups that I can't read.
I'm just looking for the code to capture a buy price, sell price, stoploss and tp and have the script enter both orders.
that's really close to the script that I started with. The only thing is that instead of a set distance from the market I am looking for a hard entry point each way. When I tried modifying the script to ask for an entry point long and entry point short it did nothing and I can't figure out why. I'm new to MT scripts so I'm sure I'm making a pretty rookie mistake and figured someone had to have a script that asks for an actual entry point in a script.
If I understend your request you want the POs to have a distance in pips from the actual price, and that will be in form of external variable?
If that is is I can help you!
No. I need to specify a specific entry point in each direction...
For example:
-current price is 1.4865 and I want to enter
-Buy Stop at 1.4872 and
-Sell Stop at 1.4854
Even if the market wiggles a little and the current price changes, I want the stop orders for those exact entries.

I am trying to create a script that places to pending orders (a buy stop and a sell stop) for me simultaneously. I have found a few that do so at a set number of pips from the market, but for the strategy I trade I need to set specific buy and sell points. For some reason any modification I try accomplish this manages to not run at all.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
