Overview

Order Management MT4 features an on-chart user interface with buttons for executing buy and sell orders. The tool automates trade exits using multiple stages, including standard stop loss and take profit levels, as well as partial take profit and partial stop loss settings. It also includes automated break-even functionality that triggers at predefined point distances. Users can manage new positions or retrieve existing orders based on a magic number.
