Export Deals History
This tool for MetaTrader 5 is specifically engineered to streamline your trading operations. 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 Export Deals History

4. Removing: Scripts stop automatically, but you can remove them manually by right-clicking the chart and choosing "Remove Script."

Q: Why did my script stop? A: Scripts are designed to stop immediately after finishing their programmed command; this is normal behavior.
