Syntax for MT4/5

Syntax is the set of rules for constructing proper alert messages for sending to MT4/5.

A message is constructed by fields. A field is a parameter-value pair connected by "=". Fields are separated by ",". You can put no space or a few spaces after "," to make message clear to read.

Every message must have a token field which is the master token, you can get your master token on your TradingRouter Dashboard


Sample Syntax

Here are some syntax examples:

  • token=master19dd529542d4b79d2bc4,signal=buy,symbol=EURUSD,risk_lots=0.1
  • token=master19dd529542d4b79d2bc4, signal=sell,symbol=EURUSD, risk_lots=0.1, sl_pips=100
  • token=master19dd529542d4b79d2bc4,signal=closelong, symbol=EURUSD

newsltplong

Modify the stop loss and take profit of the long positions

The new stop loss is set by Stop Loss Parameter and the new take profit is set by Take Profit Parameter

symbol= is optional. If symbol= is set, only positions of the specific symbol will be affected

If you use sl_pips= or sl_pct= ,the stop loss is calculated based on the position's current price

If you use tp_pips= or tp_pct= ,the take profit is calculated based on the position's current price

If the Stop Loss Parameter is missing in this command, then positions' stop loss will not change

If the Take Profit Parameter is missing in this command, then positions' take profit will not change



If you use sl=0 in this command, the stop loss of all affected positions are set to their open prcie. So sl=0 means breakeven feature. Breakeven only works when a position is in profit. If a position is not in profit, then the stop loss is unchanged and you will get invalid stops error in the MT4/5 log.



If Magic Restriction is On, only the positions created by TradingRouter EA will be closed. If Magic Restriction is Off, all positions (including positions created manually or by other EAs) will be closed.

selllimit examples
  • token=master19dd529542d4b79d2bc4, signal=selllimit, symbol=EURUSD, price_exact=1.231, risk_lots=0.1
  • token=master19dd529542d4b79d2bc4, signal=selllimit, symbol=AUDUSD, price_pct=1, risk_cncy_amt=200, sl_pips=100


buystop

Place a buy stop order above the current market price.

  • token=master19dd529542d4b79d2bc4, signal=sellstop, symbol=AUDUSD, price_pct=1, risk_cncy_amt=200, sl_pips=100


Price Parameter (for Pending Order)

Price parameter is used to determine the entry price of pending order. It has the following 4 parameters

    1. price_pips=
    2. price_pct=
    3. price_exact=
    4. price=

These 4 parameters has priorities: price_pips= > price_pct= > price_exact= > price=

You can only put one of the 4 price parameters in your message. If you put more than one price parameters in the message, the highest priority paramter in the message will be used. For example if you put price_pct= and price= in the message, only price_pct= will be used because price_pct= has higher priority than price= and price_pct= is the highest priority parameter in your message.



1. price_pips=

price_pips= set the entry price to some pips away from current market price

price_pips= examples
  • token=master19dd529542d4b79d2bc4, signal=buylimit, symbol=EURUSD, price_pips=300, risk_lots=0.1 (note: create a buylimit order for 0.1 lot of EURUSD, the entry price is 300 below current market price )
  • token=master19dd529542d4b79d2bc4, signal=buystop, symbol=EURUSD, price_pips=200, sl_pips=100, risk_lots=0.2 (note: create a buystop order for 0.2 lot of EURUSD, the entry price is 200 above current market price, the stop loss is 100 pips )


2. price_pct=

price_pct= set the entry price to some percentage away from current market price

price_pct= examples
  • token=master19dd529542d4b79d2bc4, signal=buylimit, symbol=EURUSD, price_pct=2, risk_lots=0.1 (note: create a buylimit order for 0.1 lot of EURUSD, the entry price is 2% below current market price )
  • token=master19dd529542d4b79d2bc4, signal=selllimit, symbol=EURUSD, price_pct=3, sl_pips=100, risk_lots=0.2 (note: create a selllimit order for 0.2 lot of EURUSD, the entry price is 3% above current market price, the stop loss is 100 pips )


3. price_exact=

price_exact= set the entry price to a specific price

Note: This parameter is not recommended because the entry price may be invalid due to the discrepancy in quotes between TradingView and MT5. For example, your quote in Tradingview is $10000, but the quote at MT5 is $9998, if you make a buylimit order and set price_exact=9999, the entry price is above current market price and is invalid for buylimit order at MT5.

price_exact= examples
  • token=master19dd529542d4b79d2bc4, signal=buylimit, symbol=EURUSD, price_exact=1.0012, risk_lots=0.1 (note: create a buylimit order for 0.1 lot of EURUSD, the entry price is 1.0012 )
  • token=master19dd529542d4b79d2bc4, signal=selllimit, symbol=EURUSD, price_exact=1.2342, sl_pips=100, risk_lots=0.2 (note: create a selllimit order for 0.2 lot of EURUSD, the entry price is 1.2342, the stop loss is 100 pips )


4. price=

price= set the entry price of pending order according to the "Pending Order Entry Price Type(price=)" input in TradingRouter EA



There are 3 choices for "Pending Order Entry Price Type(price=)": "Pips from Current Market Price", "Percentage from Current Market Price", "Exact price"

If you choose "Pips from Current Market Price", price= set entry price to some pips away from current market price.

If you choose "Percentage from Current Market Price", price= set entry price to some percentage away from current market price.

If you choose "Exact price", price= set entry price to a specific price

Note: The choice "Exact price" is not recommended because the entry price may be invalid due to the discrepancy in quotes between TradingView and MT5. For example, your quote in Tradingview is $10000, but the quote at MT5 is $9998, if you make a buylimit order and set price_exact=9999, the entry price is above current market price and is invalid for buylimit order at MT5.

Stop Loss Parameter

Stop loss has the following 4 parameters

  1. sl_pips=
  2. sl_pct=
  3. sl_price=
  4. sl=

These 4 parameters has priorities: sl_pips= > sl_pct= > sl_price= > sl=

You can only put one of the 4 stop loss parameters in your message. If you put more than one stop loss parameters in the message, the highest priority paramter in the message will be used. For example if you put sl_pct= and sl= in the message, only sl_pct= will be used because sl_pct= has higher priority than sl= and sl_pct= is the highest priority parameter in your message.

If you choose "Set stop loss by message" for "SL Source" input in EA, the stop loss parameter in message will be used to determine the stop loss

If you choose "Set stop loss by EA, from the input below" for "SL Source" input in EA, the stop loss parameter in message will be ignored



1. sl_pips=

sl_pips= set the stop loss pips away from the open price of the order. If sl_pips=100, then the stop loss is 100 pips away from the open price of the order.

sl_pips= examples
  • token=master19dd529542d4b79d2bc4, signal=sell, symbol=EURUSD, risk_lots=0.1, sl_pips=100
  • token=master19dd529542d4b79d2bc4, signal=buy, symbol=AUDUSD, risk_lots=0.2, sl_pips=150


Note: Usually brokers have requirement for minimum pips of stop loss, so if you set a small number of the pips, the order may not be filled and you will get "Invalid Stops" error in the log of Mt4/5.



2. sl_pct=

sl_pct= set the stop loss percentage away from the open price of the order. If sl_pips=1, then the stop loss is 1 percent away from the open price of the order. For example, if BTCUSD is at $20000, you buy with "sl_pct=0.1", then the stop loss is 0.1% away, at $19980.

sl_pct= examples
  • token=master19dd529542d4b79d2bc4, signal=sell, symbol=EURUSD, risk_lots=0.1, sl_pct=1
  • token=master19dd529542d4b79d2bc4, signal=buy, symbol=AUDUSD, risk_lots=0.2, sl_pct=2


Note:

  • sl_pct= should be less than 100.
  • Usually brokers have requirement for minimum pips of stop loss, so if you set a small number for sl_pct, the order may not be filled and you will get "Invalid Stops" error in the log of Mt4/5.



3. sl_price=

sl_price= set exact price for stop loss. If sl_price=1.1234, then the stop loss set at 1.1234.

sl_price= examples
  • token=master19dd529542d4b79d2bc4, signal=sell, symbol=EURUSD, risk_lots=0.1, sl_price=1.3012
  • token=master19dd529542d4b79d2bc4, signal=buy, symbol=AUDUSD, risk_lots=0.2, sl_price=0.6045


Note: This parameter is not recommended because the stop loss may be invalid due to the discrepancy in quotes between TradingView and MT5, and also due to slippage. For example, your quote in Tradingview is $10000, but the quote at MT5 is $9999, if you make a market buy order and set sl_price=9999, the stop loss is invalid at MT5. Another example, your quote in Tradingview is $10000, and the quote at MT5 is also $10000, you make a market buy order and set sl_price=9999, but when the order is filled, the open price is $9998 due to slippage, then the stop loss is invalid.



4. sl=

sl= set the stop loss according to the "SL Type (sl=)" input in TradingRouter EA.


There are 3 choices for "SL Type (sl=)": pips, percentage, price

If you choose pips, the sl= means pips away from open price

If you choose percentage, the sl= means percentage away from open price

If you choose price, the sl= means exact price for stop loss


sl= example 1



  • token=master19dd529542d4b79d2bc4, signal=sell, symbol=EURUSD, risk_lots=0.1, sl=100 (note: stop loss is 100 pips above open price)

  • token=master19dd529542d4b79d2bc4, signal=sell, symbol=EURUSD, risk_lots=0.1, sl=1.0234 (note: stop loss is 1.0234 )


Take Profit Parameter

Take profit has the following 4 parameters

  1. tp_pips=
  2. tp_pct=
  3. tp_price=
  4. tp=

These 4 parameters has priorities: tp_pips= > tp_pct= > tp_price= > tp=

You can only put one of the 4 take profit parameters in your message. If you put more than one take profit parameters in the message, the highest priority paramter in the message will be used. For example if you put tp_pct= and tp= in the message, only tp_pct= will be used because tp_pct= has higher priority than tp= and tp_pct= is the highest priority parameter in your message.

If you choose "Set take profit by message" for "TP Source" input in EA, the take profit parameter in message will be used to determine the take profit

If you choose "Set take profit by EA, from the input below" for "TP Source" input in EA, the take profit parameter in message will be ignored



1. tp_pips=

Note:

  • tp_pct= should be less than 100 for sell order



3. tp_price=

tp_price= set exact price for take profit. If tp_price=1.1234, then the take profit is set at 1.1234.

tp_price= examples
  • token=master19dd529542d4b79d2bc4, signal=sell, symbol=EURUSD, risk_lots=0.1, tp_price=1.0012

There are 3 choices for "TP Type (tp=)": pips, percentage, price

If you choose pips, the tp= means pips away from open price

If you choose percentage, the tp= means percentage away from open price

Risk Parameter

Risk parameter is used to determine the volume of the order. Risk has the following 5 parameters

  1. risk_lots=
  2. risk_cncy_amt=
  3. risk_pct_bal_loss=
  4. risk_pct_bal_mgn=
  5. risk=

These 5 parameters has priorities: risk_lots= > risk_cncy_amt= > risk_pct_bal_loss= > risk_pct_bal_mgn= > risk=

You can only put one of the 5 risk parameters in your message. If you put more than one risk parameters in the message, the highest priority paramter in the message will be used. For example if you put risk_pct_bal_loss= and risk= in the message, only risk_pct_bal_loss= will be used because risk_pct_bal_loss= has higher priority than risk= and risk_pct_bal_loss= is the highest priority parameter in your message.

If you choose "Set risk by message" for "Risk Source" input in EA, one of the 5 risk parameters must be in message



If you choose "Set risk by EA, from the input below" for "Risk Source" input in EA, you don't need put any risk parameter in message, and any risk parameter in the message will be ignored.



1. risk_lots=

risk_lots= sets the exact lots of the order

risk_lots= examples
  • token=master19dd529542d4b79d2bc4, signal=sell, symbol=EURUSD, risk_lots=0.1
  • token=master19dd529542d4b79d2bc4, signal=buy, symbol=AUDUSD, risk_lots=0.2


2. risk_cncy_amt=

risk_cncy_amt= means the amount of currency that you will lose if your trade hits the SL

You must set stop loss for the order if you use risk_cncy_amt=, because the volume of the order is calculated according to stop loss. You can use either Stop Loss Parameter in message or stop loss settings in EA to set stop loss.


risk_cncy_amt= examples
  • token=master19dd529542d4b79d2bc4, signal=sell, symbol=EURUSD, risk_cncy_amt=150, sl_pips=100 (note: stop loss is 100 pips from open price. The volume is calculated by stop loss so that when the trade hits the stop loss, the trade will lose 150 amount of currency. If your base currency is USD, then $150 will be lost when the trade hits stop loss.)


3. risk_pct_bal_loss=

risk_pct_bal_loss= means the percentage of balance that you will lose if your trade hits the SL.

You must set stop loss for the order if you use risk_pct_bal_loss=, because the volume of the order is calculated according to stop loss. You can use either Stop Loss Parameter in message or stop loss settings in EA to set stop loss. The value of risk_pct_bal_loss cannot exceed 100.


risk_pct_bal_loss= examples
  • token=master19dd529542d4b79d2bc4, signal=sell, symbol=EURUSD, risk_pct_bal_loss=0.5, sl_pips=100 (note: stop loss is 100 pips from open price. The volume is calculated by stop loss so that when the trade hits the stop loss, the trade will lose 0.5% of your balance.)


4. risk_pct_bal_mgn=

risk_pct_bal_mgn= means the percentage of balance that the trade will increase the margin.

For example if risk_pct_bal_mgn=2 and your balance is $10000, then the trade will increase the margin by $10000 x 2% = $200



risk_pct_bal_mgn= examples
  • token=master19dd529542d4b79d2bc4, signal=sell, symbol=EURUSD, risk_pct_bal_mgn=0.5 (note: If your balance is $10000, the 0.5% of your balance is $50. The volume is calculated so that the trade will increase your margin by $50. )


5. risk=

risk= set the risk according to the "Risk Type (risk=)" input in TradingRouter EA



There are 4 choices for "Risk Type (risk=)": "Lots", "Currency Amount", "Percentage of Balance, Loss", "Percentage of Balance, Margin"

If you choose "Lots", the risk= sets the exact lots of the order. It is the same as risk_lots=

If you choose "Currency Amount", the risk= means the amount of currency that you will lose if your trade hits the SL. It is the same as risk_cncy_amt=. You must set stop loss for the order because the volume is calculated according to stop loss

If you choose "Percentage of Balance, Loss", the risk= means the percentage of balance that you will lose if your trade hits the SL. It is the same as risk_pct_bal_loss=. You must set stop loss for the order because the volume is calculated according to stop loss

If you choose "Percentage of Balance, Margin", the risk= means the percentage of balance that the trade will increase the margin. It is the same as risk_pct_bal_mgn=.



risk= example 1



  • token=master19dd529542d4b79d2bc4, signal=sell, symbol=EURUSD, risk=0.1 (note: a sell order for 0.1 lot of EURUSD is created)
  • token=master19dd529542d4b79d2bc4, signal=buy, symbol=AUDUSD, risk=0.2 (note: a buy order for 0.2 lot of AUDUSD is created)


risk= example 2



  • token=master19dd529542d4b79d2bc4, signal=sell, symbol=EURUSD, risk=150, sl_pips=100 (note: stop loss is 100 pips from open price. The volume is calculated by stop loss so that when the trade hits the stop loss, the trade will lose 150 amount of currency. If your base currency is USD, then $150 will be lost when the trade hits stop loss.)


risk= example 3



  • token=master19dd529542d4b79d2bc4, signal=sell, symbol=EURUSD, risk=0.5, sl_pips=100 (note: stop loss is 100 pips from open price. The volume is calculated by stop loss so that when the trade hits the stop loss, the trade will lose 0.5% of your balance.)


risk= example 4



  • token=master19dd529542d4b79d2bc4, signal=sell, symbol=EURUSD, risk=0.5 (note: If your balance is $10000, the 0.5% of your balance is $50. The volume is calculated so that the trade will increase your margin by $50. )


Expiration Parameter

Set expiration time for pending order. This parameter can only be used for pending order

There are two parameters: lifetime= and expiration=

MT5 uses both lifetime= and expiration=, while MT4 only uses expiration=

lifetime= has four possible values: GTC, DAY, SPEC, SPECDAY

For MT5

  1. If there is no lifetime= parameter in the message, the pending order will not expire.(good until cancel)
  2. If lifetime=GTC, the pending order will not expire.(good until cancel)
  3. If lifetime=DAY, the pending order will expire at the end of day
  4. If lifetime=SPEC, the expiration time of the pending order is specified by the expiration= parameter
  5. If lifetime=SPECDAY, the expiration time of the pending order is at the end of a specific day, this day is specified by the expiration= parameter.

The difference between SPEC and SPECDAY is that SPEC specifies the end time in terms of date and minutes, while SPECDAY specifies the end time to be end of day


MT5 expiration parameter examples
  • token=master19dd529542d4b79d2bc4, signal=buylimit, symbol=EURUSD, risk_lots=0.1, price_pips=60, lifetime=SPEC, expiration=2023.2.19 07:08 (note: create a buy limit order of 0.1 lot EURUSD. The expiration time of this pending order is 2023.2.19 07:08)
  • token=master19dd529542d4b79d2bc4, signal=buylimit, symbol=EURUSD ,risk_lots=0.1, price_pips=60, lifetime=SPECDAY, expiration=2023.2.19 (note: create a buy limit order of 0.1 lot EURUSD. The expiration time of this pending order is the end of 2023.2.1)
  • token=master19dd529542d4b79d2bc4, signal=buylimit, symbol=EURUSD ,risk_lots=0.1, price_pips=60, lifetime=GTC (note: create a buy limit order of 0.1 lot EURUSD. The pending order will not expire, that is good until cancel)

For MT4

  • MT4 only uses expiration= parameter to set expiration time. If expiration=0 or if there is no expiration= parameter, the pending order will not expire.(good until cancel)

MT4 expiration parameter examples
  • token=master19dd529542d4b79d2bc4, signal=buylimit, symbol=EURUSD, risk_lots=0.1, price_pips=60, expiration=2023.2.19 07:08 (note: create a buy limit order of 0.1 lot EURUSD. The expiration time of this pending order is 2023.2.19 07:08)

Breakeven Parameter

Automatically move the stop loss of positions to breakeven when betrigger= is satisfied

There are two parameters: betrigger= and beoffset=. All the two parameters are required in a command if you want Breakeven feature.

beoffset should be less than betrigger

Breakeven parameter are only used in market order command.



1. betrigger=

Breakeven will be activated after the position gains this number of pips. betrigger should be a positive number



2. beoffset=

  2. accfilter_eqt=
  3. accfilter_mgn=
  4. accfilter_mgn_pct=
  5. accfilter=

These 5 parameters has priorities: accfilter_bal= > accfilter_eqt= > accfilter_mgn= > accfilter_mgn_pct= > accfilter=

You can only put one of the 5 account filter parameters in your message. If you put more than one account filter parameters in the message, the highest priority paramter in the message will be used. For example if you put accfilter_eqt= and accfilter= in the message, only accfilter_eqt= will be used because accfilter_eqt= has higher priority than accfilter= and accfilter_eqt= is the highest priority parameter in your message.
