MT4 Auto Close Profits Script | Free EA Tool Source Code for Forex

Summary: This article provides a complete MQL4 script that automatically closes all profitable trades when a target profit level is reached. Includes parameters for money or pip target, partial close options, and push notifications.




Manual profit taking can cost traders due to slippage or delay. This MT4 auto close profits script runs as a simple utility tool, monitoring your account in real-time. Once the specified profit target in dollars, pips, or percentage is hit, it instantly closes all profitable positions or only the most profitable one.

Use Cases

Close all winning trades when daily profit hits $500.

Lock in gains on a basket of signals.

Combine with a trailing stop script for a complete exit strategy.

The script runs once, checks current total profit, and closes trades if the target is met.
