Description:

If you're looking to enhance your trading strategy on the MetaTrader 4 (MT4) platform, understanding how to place One-Cancels-the-Other (OCO) orders is essential. This guide will walk you through setting up a One pip Limit Order and a One pip Stop Order to help you navigate your trades more effectively.

Global Variables:

  • OCO_BUY_LIMIT: This is your Buy Limit Price, where you want to enter a buy order.
  • OCO_BUY_STOP: This defines your Buy Stop Price, the point at which you want to enter a buy order if the market moves in your favor.
  • OCO_SELL_LIMIT: Here’s where you set your Sell Limit Price to enter a sell order.
  • OCO_SELL_STOP: This is your Sell Stop Price, allowing you to enter a sell order when the price hits this level.
  • OCO_confirmation: Once you’ve input your Buy Limit, Buy Stop, Sell Limit, or Sell Stop Prices, make sure to set OCO_confirmation to "1" to confirm your settings.
  • OCO_lots: This represents the number of lots you wish to trade.
  • OCO_oCO: If you set OCO_oCO to "1", this will ensure that when one order is executed, the others are canceled.
  • OCO_sL_Pips: This variable sets your Stop Loss in pips to protect your trades.
  • OCO_tP_Pips: Use this to define your Take Profit in pips for locking in profits.

By utilizing these variables effectively, you can streamline your trading process and make informed decisions right from your MT4 platform. Happy trading!
