What are Smart lines? How to open and close orders in MetaTrader with this tool
Updated over a week ago

Smart lines are a very useful tool you can access after enabling the Mini terminal of our MetaTrader Supreme Edition.

These lines will allow us to manage our trades very simply and efficiently since they will allow us to establish both opening and closing levels of operations at a certain level or moment. To do this, we will only have to draw a trend line, a horizontal line, or a vertical line on our graph.

How to open an order with Smart lines?

As we indicated previously, this process is very simple, and we only have to draw a line on our graph, but to do so we must follow the next steps:

  • Add the Mini Terminal to our chart,

  • Draw or choose a trend line, horizontal or vertical, and press Alt+click at the same time (on Mac Option+click),

  • Select the “New Order” option and set the desired parameters.

After completing this process, this line will become a Smart Line, and the pending order will be activated when the price reaches said level.

How to close an order with Smart Lines?

If we want to close a transaction entirely or partially, we can also use Smart Lines for this purpose. To do this, we must follow the following steps:

  • Add the Mini Terminal to our chart,

  • Draw or choose a trend line, horizontal or vertical, and press Alt+click at the same time (on Mac Option+click),

  • Select the “Close” option, indicate the order you want to close, and set the desired parameters.

As before, after completing this process, this line will become a Smart Line, and the pending closing order (SL or TP) will be activated when the price reaches said level.

For Smart Lines to work, as with any EA, you must allow "Algo trading" and not close the trading platform. Otherwise, this option will be disabled.

If you have any problems or questions with this procedure, please contact us.
