#Stop Loss and Take Profit not Correct - Open

Sometimes Stop Loss and Take Profit slightly slide when I open position ( ex: ± 0.00001 or 0.00002 and more for EURUSD while low volatility ).
I need to write a code for it but before I need to ask.

In this cases I currently modify manually after SL and TP slides, and that is really annoying things for me.

Q:  What would be your advice for about this issue, please?

( I am just worrying about code for it that it will bring more issues... )
( And I think it won't be small part of script. )

Thanks in advance.

The advice is to use stealth stops.

So stops that are hidden from the broker server.

It means you have to either detect new orders and then place virtual stops, or place virtual stops when the order gets opened.

In both examples you have virtual stops and your EA has to be online to modify and close the stops/position.

If you send your stops to the broker server then it will be the way around you can switch off your EA and the stops will still be triggered because now they are handled by the server and not so much your ea.

So it all depends on what you want to do.

You say you adjust your stops manually, this can be done with both examples.

I am not sure what your question is or what is your preferred TP/SL mechanism.

Q  #1:  Graphics() objects gets more x20 and y20 when drag is finished, how can I solve it, please?

Any advice would be better for me, please.

Thanks in advance.

extern orgX = 20;
extern orgY = 20;

void OnChartEvent(const int id,const long&lparam,const double&dparam,const string&sparam)
  {
   if(sparam==moveObj)
     {
      if(id==CHARTEVENT_OBJECT_DRAG)
        {
         orgX=(int)ObjectGet(moveObj,OBJPROP_XDISTANCE);
         orgY=(int)ObjectGet(moveObj,OBJPROP_YDISTANCE);
         Graphics();
         // Could I put all of my obj functions here, please?
         // I have a lot of objects and some object names have Order Ticket numbers...
        }
     }
   return;
  }

Because externally declared parameters can not be altered, or changed i always copy the external parameter and then change the copy.

Also extern is obsolete, use

input int orgX;

or

static input int orgX;

or 

sinput int orgX;
