How to make EA place fixed stop-loss?

[Andreas]

How do I get my Expert Advisor to set a fixed stop loss. For example (buy), I want the EA to return 3 candles and place a stop loss below the third candle. Thank!

I work in MetaEditor4 at the moment when my broker only offers that solution, is it the same language as MLQ5? When I try to navigate in the MLQ4 forum, I am always directly directed to MLQ5, which is really annoying ....

Andreas:  is it the same language as MLQ5?

1. Why did you post your MT4 question in the MT5 General section instead of the MQL4 section, (bottom of the Root page?)
             General rules and best pratices of the Forum. - General - MQL5 programming forum?
   Next time post in the correct place. The moderators will likely move this thread there soon.

2. No it's not the same language.

3. It's spelled MQL5

I will move this topic to the MQL4 section.
