This script helps traders manage their positions in MetaTrader 5. It allows you to close specific groups of orders with one click. You save time and reduce manual effort when you trade.
Managing multiple trades takes time. Often, you need to exit the market quickly to protect your capital. This tool simplifies that process. Instead of closing every trade individually, you run the script and choose your settings.
The script offers these functions:
- Close all open orders at once.
- Close only the orders that have a profit.
- Close only the orders that have a loss.
This tool works with your MetaTrader 5 terminal. It follows the MQL5 language rules to ensure compatibility with your trading platform.

- You use the MetaTrader 5 trading platform.
- Your computer runs on Windows 10 or Windows 11.
- You have an active internet connection.
- Your broker allows the use of scripts.

Using scripts requires caution. Follow these tips to keep your account secure:
- Always test the script on a Demo account first. This allows you to see how it works without risking real money.
- Keep your MetaTrader 5 terminal updated to the latest version.
- Check your order settings before you click "OK". Ensure you understand which trades will close.
- Use this for quick exits during high volatility.
- Do not leave the script running unattended if you do not understand the current market conditions.
If the script does not behave as expected, check these common items:
- Script not visible: Ensure you placed the file in the "Scripts" folder and clicked "Refresh" in the Navigator window.
- Orders do not close: Check if "Allow Algo Trading" is enabled. You can find this in the top toolbar of MetaTrader 5. It must be green.
- Error messages: Check the "Experts" tab at the bottom of your MetaTrader 5 terminal. This log shows any technical errors the script encountered during execution.
- Permissions: Verify that your broker permits the use of automated trading scripts on your specific account type. Some restricted accounts block these actions.
Does this work on MT4? This specific version works for MetaTrader 5. MetaTrader 4 uses a different language called MQL4. The structure of this script is specific to the MQL5 environment.
Will this close pending orders? This script focuses on market orders. Pending orders usually require a different handling method. Verify your parameters to see if pending orders are included in the execution.
Is it safe to use? The script only performs the actions you instruct it to take. It does not access your personal banking data. It only interacts with your trading orders within the platform.
Can I modify the script? If you know how to code in MQL5, you may open the file in the MetaEditor and change the source code. Save your changes and recompile the file to update the functionality.
Does it require a specific chart? The script works on any chart. It looks at all active orders in your terminal regardless of the symbol on the chart you drag it onto. Be careful, as it affects all orders in the account by default.
The repository contains the source code for the script. You can view the files to understand the logic used for managing your trades. The project uses MQL5, the standard language for MetaTrader 5 development.
The core logic iterates through your open positions. It checks the profit or loss of each trade. It then sends a request to the server to close those specific trades. This happens in milliseconds to ensure accurate execution.
The script is a "one-click" solution. It does not remain on the chart for long. Once it executes, it finishes its task and removes itself from the list of active programs on that chart. If you need to close more orders later, simply drag the script onto the chart again.
