Hello,

i need help with my EA. i need a simple trailing stop and a simple break even but i dont know how to do this.

please do not change so much. if possible just only insert the trailing stop, that i can still simply put there my strategies.

ive made "dont touch" if where possible nothing should be changed

Thanks in advance

i would also pay 10$ for the programming via PayPal

sorry for my bad english

Thanks again

I think you need to work to the rest of your code, not just trailing stops . . . for example:

lot=NormalizeDouble(AccountFreeMargin()*iMaximumRisk/1000.0,1);

I suspect this may work on xxxUSD pairs when your account currency is USD . . it also uses iMaximumRisk stated as a %age, i.e. 3 meaning 3%, so iMaximumRisk= 0.02; will give you a risk of 0.02% . . . and after all that, it assumes your SL is 1 pip away.

This will give you the wrong answer if you place any trades manually or from other EAs . . . or the same EA on more than one currency pair . . . filter by Symbol and Magic number

iTotalTrades=OrdersTotal();

Hi sunnyboy20,

here you find a simple way how a Trailing Stop can look like

Now is a great time to start learning . . . "your EA" ? if you don't know how to code how is it yours ? did you pay for it ?

ive code it by my self with help from a learning dvd ;-) i dont know the position where i must add the code, ive tried it 5 times but it wont be work

in general, see my EA structure anyway somehow quite different than the most other EA´s but for me is my structure easily to handle and not so difficult for me

OK, fair enough.

You could create a function that looks at the open order(s) and adjusts the SL as per what you want from a trailing SL. You could call this function for each tick at the start of the start function . . . does that help ?
