Can you believe I wrote my own trailing stop EA and I don't have any coding experience?
Ok. Now test it with your real money and see the results.
I'm not a doctor and then I do not audit patients, they could die.
I'm not an architect and I do not build gates, they could crash.
You are not a programmer but program, then you could only loose money. (and time).
When I read the title I just KNEW there had to be an incrementing order select loop nearby. Do me a favour and test this on a chart where there are a few open orders which ALL should be closed and let me know how you get on. CB
Thank you for the reply - I will test and let you know.

I too dont have coding experience but am teaching my self, i have already written a few ea's that work !
dont let others put you down, keep it up and keep learning, one thing I have learnt is to test, test, test .....until its perfect !
Spicetrader - I can assure you I'm not trying to put you down.
Please do test with multiple open orders - all of which should be closed.
And let me know how you get on.

I am just a beginner and its my first try. This is never meant for multiple orders for the same currency. One order per currency.
It works on a single order for each currency pair for sure. I am certain it would work on multiple orders as well. I am attaching the EA here also

Here it is. I know the brackets are all messed up.
1. This EA does not modify trades but closes them when needed.
2. It can be attached to any chart window with an existing open trade.
3. The parameters are adjustable and defaults are as follows.
AT 10 it starts trailing at 7.
Till 12 it lags by 5 points.
from 12 to 25 it lags 7.
from 25 and on it lags 9.
4. But all values are adjustable.
5. I have also included a sort of delay in execution to avoid spikes, I have used number of ticks which are also adjustable.
6. Use it at your own risk.
