Hi and thank you for this script; I just tried it on my demo account, and it looks it works.
I would just welcome some more information (I trade almost three years, but still am quite dumb).
- Can I close Metatrader or it has to be open, like when using Trailing Stop? Oh, this was pretty much answered by itself, sorry.
- The Price Gap or Price Offset - what is this item for, please?
- Just now, right after I started my praise, I noticed the script, tentatively set for 21.00 hour here, set each Buy Stop and Sell Stop instruments at the same time. Is it because some abrupt (but small) movement, or did I get something wrong?
Thank you for your patience with me.

Hi,
Price Gap or Price Offset is add/deduct no. of pips for buy/sell from current price.
eg:
News time is 11:30 AM for my server time.
So I use start time as 11.29AM
Price gap is 15 to 20 pips (which will add/subtract no. of pips when ea execute at the time of start time.)
at 11.29 market close price is 1.5500 , ea will will place buystop as 1.5515and sellstop as 1.5485 ( if i set price gap as 15 pips)
if you set trailing stop your system must be online.
if trailing is disabled ea will take sl and tp accordingly.
The EA i use at news time and make good profit sofar.
mostly i use this EA for AUD and NZD news.
if AUD news are upcoming i run all AUD pairs and run with 5 min time frame.
not all news i will prefer. only CASH Rate,CPI,Important Major news.
Happy Piping..
Thank you very much, in the meantime I got it with the buy/sell stops, so now I fully understand, after several tries today.
Great job, many thanks!
