Trailing Stop with MagicNumber - expert for MetaTrader 4

Trailing stop really supports our trading by shifting the stop loss to the profit area so that we can always automatically secure our trades.

We will start the code by specifying the input trailing stop parameters

input    bool     isTrailingStop = true;  //Trailing Stop
input    int      trailingStart  = 15;    //Trailing Start (pips)
input    int      trailingStep   = 5;     //Trailing Step (pips)

input    int      MagicNumber = 0;        //Magic Number

Global Variable

//Variabel Global
double   myPoint    = 0.0;

When we run this EA, the OnInit () function will be executed for the first time and in this function we will validate and initialize the input variables.

int OnInit()
  {
  
   if (isTrailingStop && trailingStart <= 0){
      Alert ("Parameters incorrect");
      return(INIT_PARAMETERS_INCORRECT);
   }
   
   myPoint     = GetPipPoint(Symbol());
   
   return(INIT_SUCCEEDED);
  }

Every time a price movement (tick) occurs on the chart where this EA is paired, the OnTick () function will be executed. Inside the OnTick () function will call the setTrailingStop () function

void OnTick()
  {
//---
   setTrailingStop(MagicNumber);
   
  }

Function setTrailingStop()

void setTrailingStop(int magicNumber=0){
   if (isTrailingStop==false) return;
   
   int      tOrder = 0;
   string   pair = "";
   double   sl = 0.0, tp = 0.0;
   
   pair = Symbol();
   
   tOrder = OrdersTotal();
   for (int i=tOrder-1; i>=0; i--){
      bool hrsSelect = OrderSelect(i, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES);
      if (OrderMagicNumber() == magicNumber && StringFind(OrderSymbol(), pair, 0) == 0 ){
         if (OrderType() == OP_BUY){
            if ( (Bid - (trailingStart * myPoint)) >= OrderOpenPrice()
                  && (Bid - ((trailingStart+trailingStep) * myPoint) >= OrderStopLoss() )
                )
            {
               sl = NormalizeDouble(Bid - (trailingStart * myPoint), Digits());
               if (!OrderModify(OrderTicket(), OrderOpenPrice(), sl, OrderTakeProfit(), 0, clrBlue)){
                  Print ("#", OrderTicket(), " gagal update sl");
               }
            }
         }
         
         if (OrderType() == OP_SELL){
            if ( (Ask + (trailingStart * myPoint)) <= OrderOpenPrice()
                  && ( (Ask + ((trailingStart+trailingStep) * myPoint) <= OrderStopLoss() ) || OrderStopLoss() == 0.0)
               )
            {
               sl = NormalizeDouble(Ask + (trailingStart * myPoint), Digits() );
               if (!OrderModify(OrderTicket(), OrderOpenPrice(), sl, OrderTakeProfit(), 0, clrBlue)){
                  Print ("#", OrderTicket(), " gagal update sl");
               }
            }
         }
      } //end if magicNumber
   }//end for
}

other standard functions required is GetPipPoint() 

// Fungsi GetPipPoint
double GetPipPoint(string pair)
{
   double point= 0.0;
   int digits = (int) MarketInfo(pair, MODE_DIGITS);
   if(digits == 2 || digits== 3) point= 0.01;
   else if(digits== 4 || digits== 5) point= 0.0001;
   return(point);
}
