Last Order 2 Clipboard
The Last Order 2 Clipboard is a utility indicator designed to track the latest executed order and display its information directly on the MetaTrader 5 platform. Additionally, it has a built-in function to copy this data to the clipboard, allowing traders to easily save or share the information outside the trading platform.
Strategy
- Order Tracking:
- The indicator constantly monitors the latest executed trade using the OnTick() function. It checks whether there is a new order compared to the previously detected one.
- If a new order is identified, the indicator updates the display to show the details of this order on the chart using the Comment function.
- Clipboard Functionality:
- When a new order is detected, the indicator uses built-in functions to copy the order details to the system clipboard. This is facilitated through external Windows API libraries (kernel32.dll and user32.dll), allowing seamless interaction between MetaTrader 5 and the operating system.
- This feature is particularly useful for quickly sharing trade data with others or for record-keeping without manually extracting order details.
- Alert System:
- The indicator includes an optional alert feature that triggers a notification whenever a new order is detected. This alert can be enabled or disabled through user input, making it customizable to suit different trading styles.
Why It’s a Good Choice
- Time-Saving: The automatic clipboard functionality eliminates the need for manual tracking of recent trades, saving time for traders who frequently analyze or share their trade performance.
- Integration with Operating System: By leveraging Windows API functions, the indicator offers a unique feature of copying data directly to the clipboard, enhancing the usability of MetaTrader 5 for traders who rely on external analysis tools.
- Clear and Customizable Alerts: The ability to enable alerts for new trades helps keep traders informed about their trading activity without the need for constant monitoring.
The Last Order 2 Clipboard indicator is a handy tool for traders who require efficient management and tracking of their recent trading orders, combining practicality with seamless integration for enhanced user experience.
