Break Even EA

 

Hello, just wondering if there was a simple Breakeven EA that will monitor my trades and detect if my TP isn't hit and price goes back against me then to just close the trade if price gets back to my open price. So at least if my TP doesnt' get hit then I still wont loose anything.

Thanks

This would be fairly easy to code. Assuming your trade goes into positive territory in the first place! This would be one function of an EA, but not a whole system. What are you using for an entry decision?

 

Another question. As far as an EA thinks, your take profit isn't hit the instant your order is placed. You need to decide at which point on your way to your TP that your Break Even will be "turned on".

 

it's a complicated one

IMHO..this one should rather tough to code..

Why not code breakeven or move stop to breakeven after profit target reached?Or use adanced stops?

All my EAS have these and other stop management codings as standard
