Based on request. viewtopic.php?f=27&t=67433 Hot Keys HotKey_Buy, HotKey_Sell, HotKey_Close_Buy, HotKey_Close_Sell, HotKey_CloseAll
There is an issue with it. It’s a global “hotkeys”. So, it opening some positions as I type this post. It’s useless for a real life (unless you don’t have a dedicated PC for it).10 min

Great!
I just tested it, and actually the position opens when you type a text …
it’s very boring this global hotkey? You would have another solutions proposed? The problem is that MT4 uses too many keyboard shortcuts and mainly all F1 / F2 / F3 keys etc … I guess it’s not possible to disable the MT4 shortcut?…
It’s also possible to add a function “hotkey_TP” (Take profit with a percentage) and a “hotkey_BE”?

you think with a gamer keyboard and extra keys, the EA could work with the global hotkey?

I would say yes.

Hi, To solve the problem of using the keyboard it would be possible to use a combination of two keys, rather than one for each command? for example ctrl + 1, +2 etc … Thank’s

Added left control check as an additional key.

Hi, can you detailed the setting I try to enter ctrl + 1 and it does not work. thank you

this is how MT4 works. It checks the keys only when the code is executing. Sometimes you release the keys before the MT4 code executed. This method of hotkeys is a hack and it barely works. It isn’t good for that. There is nothing we can do to improve it.

it will be possible to add two functions?
first: key touch Break even +2 pip for the spread
second: key touch with two take profit option -option 1: double tp 50% / 50% -option 2: triple tp 33% / 33% / 34%
Thank you

Did only the breakeven part. Multi-level stop is NOT support by the MT4. Hard-coding is possible and time demanding.
