- If you show your attempts and describe your problem clearly, you will most probably receive an answer from the community. Use the CODE button (Alt-S) when inserting code.
- To learn MQL4 programming, you can research the many available Articles on the subject, or examples in the Codebase, as well as reference the online Documentation.
- If you do not want to learn to code, that is not a problem. You can either look at the Codebase if something free already exists, or in the Market for paid products (also sometimes free). However, recommendations or suggestions for Market products are not allowed on the forum, so you will have to do your own research.

- platonicbomb: I use a martingale strategy in MT4
Martingale is not a strategy. It's a betting system.
Hedging, grid trading, same as Martingale.

THIS Trading Strategy is a LIE... I took 100,000 TRADES with the Martingale Strategy - YouTube (2020) - platonicbomb: . I want to be able to change the TP on all open trades simultaneously for a given pair.
There is no such thing. You can only change one order after another.

Who asked for free help? Don't people sell scripts and plugins here? Either someone has created one that I can buy, or I'll create it myself. I searched the Market before asking.
EDIT: Thanks for the feedback. I'm not looking for anything free; in fact I'm considering buying this script:[redacted by moderator] It just doesn't look like many people have used it, which makes me wonder whether it works.
As already stated in my post — "... recommendations or suggestions for Market products are not allowed on the forum, so you will have to do your own research."
Martingale vs. Non Martingale (Simplified RoR vs Profit and the Illusions) - MQL5 programming forum
Thanks for your feedback. I'm aware of the risks. Been making 10-25% per month since April, took out my initial investment twice already. Eight months in, the bot had its first losing day on Tuesday: -0.2%, swap fees were greater than nominal profit on an EURGBP trade. Obviously the bot isn't doubling down as it scales in. The exponent bases are 0.05-1.25. But sure, odds are it will blow up my account one day... if I don't close the position first, if I don't add funds to support margin health, if I start with too large of a lot size, etc etc. The risk is real.

It is very possible to create a script to apply bulk SL or TP's at the same time. Here's one way:
1) Script 1 to create a horizontal line specific to the Symbol. If it is on EURUSD the script will create a horizontal lined call EURUSD_TP
2) Move horizontal line to TP price location.
3) Script 2 to set all TP values of the 'Symbol_TP' to the horizontal line price.
You can actually combine that all into 1 Script.
It is not possible to update orders "simultaneously". They have to be updated synchronously in sequence one after the other.
Updating them in "bulk", would mean having a MQL program update them together to the same SL/TP levels, as fast as possible, but still synchronously one order at a time.
