I just checked the code and I don't understand what the benefit of this script is.

You still have to do all your lot size calculation yourself, input stop price, target price and so on. So there is nothing different from opening a normal buy or sell order in MT4 yourself

The only 'extra' this has is to quickly set your profit target a certain amount of pips away.

I guess if you know how, pre-set your parameters in the code; have different settings for different situations or pairs.

Then you can just drag, drop and click OK

Maybe more for scalpers
