An MT5 Expert Advisor for Opening Multiple Buy or Sell Orders

Article MQL5 code base

Summary

This document describes a MetaTrader 5 Expert Advisor that opens multiple buy or sell orders after a user clicks a corresponding button. Inputs include the number of orders, risk percentage per trade, stop loss, take profit, and slippage. The EA calculates lot size from the risk setting and stop loss, checks the spread against the configured slippage, and applies price conditions before placing orders.

The description outlines order-entry behavior rather than a complete trading strategy: it does not specify a market signal, establish expected performance, or explain portfolio-level exposure controls. It characterizes the EA as a simple example that may need changes before live use and advises testing in a demo environment. No backtest results, execution-quality evidence, or details about handling rejected or partially filled orders are provided.

Key ideas

  • The EA uses interface buttons to trigger multiple buy or sell orders.
  • User inputs control order count, risk percentage, stop loss, take profit, and slippage.
  • Lot size is calculated from the configured risk percentage and stop loss.
  • The description does not provide a market signal or performance evidence.
  • The example may need further work before live trading.
