3) Ensure that Auto Trading is clicked (this is along the top of your screen)
4) Drag The Trade Placer onto your chart and drop it
A dialogue box will open and you need to do the following –

Open Price Only for Stops and Limits - This is your entry price you want to enter the trade – you leave this blank if you are buying or selling at market.
Stop Loss - Input the stop loss you would like - it will not allow you to place a trade without a stop loss – also if the stop loss is too close to entry or the wrong way to the entry you will get an error
TP Multiplier - You can chose to use this as a multiplier rather than inputting a take profit value – this is quick and also less prone to errors as it will always place the take profit correctly. You can set this as high as you like. A 1 will mean a 1:1 reward to risk a 5 will be a 5:1 reward to risk. If you elect to input a value you need to set this field to 0

Comment Optional – Yu can put a comment in this section and is extremely useful if you want to keep track of the timeframe of your trades as MT4 does not record this information.
Once you are complete with the inputs, click on OK and a dialogue box will pop up showing you the parameters you have set and the risk and take profit potential of your trade – see figure below
Once you are satisfied that this is correct and the trade/order you want to take – click on OK
