Hey fellow traders! Today, I’m excited to share a nifty little Expert Advisor (EA) I developed that helps you take snapshots of your orders on MetaTrader 4. Whether you want to publish your trades, analyze them, or simply keep an eye on things when you’re away from your terminal, this EA has got your back.

Using this tool is a breeze! Just launch the EA on your chart or on any charts you’re trading, and it will start capturing those order snapshots for you.

If you’re looking to add a personal touch, you can easily grab the two functions takePics() and print() from the EA and integrate them into your own setup. This way, every time you open or close a trade, those images will be saved for your review—perfect for spotting errors or keeping a detailed record.

When it comes to backtesting, you’ll find the snapshots saved in the TESTER\FILES directory. If you’re trading in real or demo accounts, they’ll be stored in EXPERTS\FILES.

Update (27/02/2012): This latest version doesn’t clutter your chart with messages. It only counts currently open BUY and SELL orders, so no worries about STOP/LIMIT orders being included.
