moving average trailing stoploss

[[Deleted]]

hi,

just wondering if anyone can point me in the direction of how to go about making the trailing stoploss of my EA equal to a moving average value.

cheers

double TS_Factor = 2;
double TS_MA = iMA(NULL, 0, 3, 0, MODE_EMA, PRICE_CLOSE, 0);

for(int i = 0; i < OrdersTotal(); i++)
{
OrderSelect(i, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES);

if(TP_B == 0 && MS_B == false && OrderMagicNumber() == 1)
{
if(OrderStopLoss() < TS_MA - ATR * TS_Factor)
{
OrderModify(OrderTicket(), OrderOpenPrice(), TS_MA - ATR * TS_Factor, OrderTakeProfit(), 0, Green);
}
}

if(TP_S == 0 && MS_S == false && OrderMagicNumber() == 2)
{
if(OrderStopLoss() > TS_MA + ATR * TS_Factor)
{
OrderModify(OrderTicket(), OrderOpenPrice(), TS_MA + ATR * TS_Factor, OrderTakeProfit(), 0, Green);
}
}
}

u can modify

Hey, mind if you explain on this? i am struggling to understand this and adapt it into my program. Thank you so much in advance :)

TS_MA - ATR * TS_Factor,

What needs explaining? TS = MA ± n × ATR
