I would like you to review the code because now no positions are opened on metatrader 4 platform. The expert advisor just counting down the time. I have attached the file with the settings I use.
Timed Order
- Thread starter Enivid
- Start date
- Watchers 20
I have attached the file that appeared on the Experts tab.

I mean the Experts tab, which is a message log in the Terminal subwindow. Like this:
I found the problem. The broker did not let the positions open because the Stop loss and Take Profit were too close. Now that I have increased them the TimerOrder works fine. Thanks again!
Timed Order has been updated to version 1.01 to introduce some great changes:
- Added the daily mode option for continuous operation. (@georgi80)
- Added an option to set pending order's entry price as the distance from the price at the time of its creation. (@ge19991)
- Added an option to let the EA wait until the current spread tightens below the threshold value.
- Added parameters for seconds in the cTrader version.
- Fixed some minor typos in the source code.
No, currently, it won't be able to work like that. You'd need to modify it for it to open orders like that.
Is there anyone who can help me change it to be able to open an order every 30 seconds?
one more thing... is there a way to set the sell limit based on the entry price? Would I like it to automatically set the stop limit in points/pips when I open the order? Come, can I do?
Thank you

This isn't something I would be adding to this EA. Please consider seeking someone who can do this as a custom coding order for you.
When you add an instance of the TO to a currency pair and then run it (the Play button), you can open its chart and see the Parameters subwindow (normally, in the bottom-left corner):
I can't find how to install it properly. I put the file in every folder possible it is not recognise.
The Ctrader youtube chanel is not of any help and chatgpt neither.
If i double click on the CS files it is stuck with a popup "How do you want to open this files" and it doesn't show Ctrader in the list.

That depends on what you are installing it from. If you have an .algo file, you can just copy/paste it to the Users\<Username>\Documents\cAlgo\Sources\Robots\ folder.
If you have a .cs, you need to click the "New" button while on the cBots tab in the Automate menu of your cTrader. Copy/paste the contents of the .cs file to replace the dummy code that appeared. Rename the cBot to Timed Order and click Build to compile the code.
Hello. I'm trying TimedOrder 1.01 on MT4. Whenever I try to schedule a Buy Stop, Sell Stop orders by night , I get the message (example) "2024.02.26 00:36:02.571 '20343827': order buy stop 3.57 GBPJPY.i opening at 190.996 sl: 190.796 tp: 191.396 failed [Trade is disabled]". I have "Autotrading ON" always. Not sure what is the reason for this error. Any help please?
Please see this guide:

Most likely, trading was really disabled at that time. Not sure what your broker's timezone is but 00:36 Monday could be just after the markets re-opened - many brokers disable trading during the first 1-2 hours of the weekly session.
Hello, i finally succeded
Thanks a lot for your help those tools are very useful.
I would add something for the dummies like me, you must download a code editor first in order to be able to see and copy/paste the code.
A code editor? You mean to open a .cs file? You can do that with any text editor (I use Notepad++).
