Hi folks!

Today we are going to study how to use Scripts in MetaTrader. Let’s first know what do the Scripts mean?

What does the Script mean?

The Script is a program wrote in MQL4. It’s very like the Expert Advisor in its ability to open/close/modify trades, however there are two differences between the Script and the Expert Advisor:
 

The Script is executed only once (when you attach it to the chart) while the Expert Advisor is executed when you attach it to the chart and after that it is executed at every new quotation arrival.

Well, there’s another difference: You have to enable the Experts (Review the previous article to know how) first to be able to use them while the Scripts don’t need that to be executed.
