Metatrader shortcuts extensions (Emilio Shortcuts) :) – script MetaTrader 4

Author:

Emilio Reale is a trader that uses MT4 and other platforms. It uses IdleLib.dll downloadable in the libraries section of codebase (included for semplicity).

A brief intro:


With this script it is very easy to change objects with some useful keyboard shortcuts. Normally I draw lot of objects in the charts and have some trouble recognizing them so:

  • this script change the size of the trend lines
  • this script change the size of the horizontal lines
  • this script change the size of the vertical lines
  • this script is able to exclude some objects from processing
  • this script print the market info
  • this scrips draw automatically expansion objects from a particular line (line name _exp)
  • if the line _exp is not drawn correctly this script exchange the direction of the line
  • this script delete of a line of a particular type very quickly
  • this script measure distances (swing) drawing a simple line (line name _lp)
  • this scrptt contains it’s own help
  • to EXIT the script press the letter “X”
  • this script changes colors of lines
  • this script cycle colors of lines
  • this script shortcuts the screenshot saving
I use a script shortcut (alt s) to activate the script automattically in MT4 and I use the fuction select objects with single mouse click to accellerate the selection of the objects.

keys (1 – 5) changes the size of the trendlines

key (d) delete all line types

key (t) changes type of objects to work on (trendlines, vertical lines, horizontal lines)

Alternative:   FlySystemEA - EA MetaTrader 4

key (e) draw from the line named _exp a fibo expansion object

key (w) convert the expansion object back to a line

key (o) delete all objects

key (s) work on object selected and deselected ( I use the prefix _ tho identify objects)

key (?) prints help

key (p) prints the distance of a particular line wich name is _lp (used to calculate targets and stop loss)

key (s) save a screenshot

_exp to to draw expansion object

… and more feel free to investigate by yourself 🙂

Recommendations:

Place the dll file in the experts\libraries directory

Place the mq4 file in the experts\script directory


Unfortunatly MT4 does not have a function to identify by code so I must use two kind of lines name the names beginning with an “_ ” underscore and the normal name this workaround permits the code to work on some objects or not (key S) selected objects are without the _ prefix

REMEMBER TO EXIT THE SCRIPT WITH THE X KEY WHEN THE WORK IS DONE!
