Default buy/sell hot keys

I found these on a forum. They are hot keys for buy and sell for mt4. Just install in the script file of your mt4 platform then open the script files in the navigator and assign hot keys to them. The scalp scripts place orders with out the need for confirmation (one click) The non scalp keys require you to confirm your order and give you a chance to modify it.

Might simplify the order process on mt4 for you. The code was by Ronald Raygun so I know its good. I just havent had a chance to test them yet.

BTW is there anyone who could change these scripts to execute buy and sell stops at Market price plus X amount of pips? The code looks rather simple so I think it could easily be done to change it from market to stop order with TP and SL.

Great find. Is it possible to the enter method (clicking) into something else? More options is surely possible.

Wow, great timing! After I get through some reading material I was going to look for hotkey order placement scripts.

@^eagle^: I looked at the code and I made an attempt at your feature request

When the market opens I will test it. This is my first MQL4 work so bear with me a little.

Shew! I thought it was just me. I'm going to compare it to script examples included with MT4 and make some adjustments.

Edit: ok it works for me now that the market is open. Does it open the Common/Inputs window when you do the hotkey? I thought it would just enter an order

Hi guys, I have been trying to use it but I have not yet succeeded. Perhaps I am just too dumb

In trying it I discovered you can only have one script per window - I have never done anything with scripts so at least I learned something! If you want to add multiple pending orders this script does not fit the bill.
