Extremums
This software component for MetaTrader 4 is built to enhance the capabilities of your trading environment. This script functions as a utility program designed for specific, one-time execution tasks. It is utilized to perform targeted actions, such as closing all open orders, managing chart objects, or executing custom administrative commands on demand.
How to Setup and Use Extremums

2. Execution: Drag the script onto a chart; it will perform a one-time action, such as closing all open orders or clearing chart objects.
3. Editing: Use MetaEditor (F4) to modify code, click "Compile," and verify no errors appear in the terminal before running.
4. Removing: Scripts stop automatically, but you can remove them manually by right-clicking the chart and choosing "Remove Script."
