Add this function at the bottom of your EA
void MoveTrailingStopsPerMN(int iMN) { int icnt, itotal; itotal=OrdersTotal(); for(icnt=0;icnt<itotal;icnt++) { // order loop boundary OrderSelect(icnt, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES); // check for opened position, symbol & MagicNumber if(OrderType()==OP_SELL && OrderSymbol()==strSymbol && OrderMagicNumber()==iMN) { if (OrderStopLoss()==0) { OrderModify(OrderTicket(),OrderOpenPrice(),Ask+Point*TrailingStop,OrderTakeProfit(),0,Red); } if((OrderOpenPrice()-Ask)>(Point*TrailingStop)) { if(OrderStopLoss()>(Ask+Point*TrailingStop)) { OrderModify(OrderTicket(),OrderOpenPrice(),Ask+Point*TrailingStop,OrderTakeProfit(),0,Red); } } } if(OrderType()==OP_BUY && OrderSymbol()==strSymbol && OrderMagicNumber()==iMN) { if (OrderStopLoss()==0) { OrderModify(OrderTicket(),OrderOpenPrice(),Bid-Point*TrailingStop,OrderTakeProfit(),0,Green); } if(Bid-OrderOpenPrice()>Point*TrailingStop) { if(OrderStopLoss()<Bid-Point*TrailingStop) { OrderModify(OrderTicket(),OrderOpenPrice(),Bid-Point*TrailingStop,OrderTakeProfit(),0,Green); } } } } // order loop boundary return(0); }
then in your EA, somewhere it can be called fairly frequently call it with
MoveTrailingStopsPerMN(YourMagicNumber);
Then at the top of the EA add something like
extern int TrailingStop = 60;
Good luck

hi @ all,
i tried a several times to programm trailing stop for the following EA.
But all tries went wrong an no TS was created by the EA.
Can u please help me to do this?
Thank u very much!!
the EA so far is:
