Execute trade on arbitrary Symbol name
17 May 2024, 23:23

Hi,

how can I place a trade on a totally arbitrary name for symbol?


 ExecuteMarketOrder(tradeType, SymbolName, volume, "TP1");


basically I don't know how to change SymbolName…


I might need to start positions on different symbols. currently I have to run a new instance on every symbol…


Thanks,

@mhsgoud2023

Hi there,

SymbolName is just a string. You can replace it with any symbol name you wish e.g.

 ExecuteMarketOrder(tradeType, “EURUSD”, volume, "TP1");

Best regards,
