Hi Roger09,
Thanks again for your help. My goal is to use a script to move my stop loss to break even plus x pips in a buy trade or break even minus x pips in a sell trade. I set a hot key for the script so I can quickly lock in some profit when the trade moves in my favor. I know some ES'a have this feature but I prefer to use a script so I can do it manually.

If you need to set your stop only one time, use this EA code
extern int pips=10;//

int start()
{
//----

double sl = 0;
if (OrderType() == OP_BUY&& OrderStopLoss() =pips*Point)
sl = OrderOpenPrice() +pips*Point;
if (OrderType() == OP_SELL && (OrderStopLoss() > OrderOpenPrice()||OrderStopLoss()==0)
&&OrderOpenPrice()-Ask>=pips*Point)
sl = OrderOpenPrice() -pips*Point;
if (!OrderModify(OrderTicket(), OrderOpenPrice(), sl, OrderTakeProfit(), 0))
Print("Error_Modifying - ",GetLastError());

Hello- Im looking to invoke my EA based on the time of day. maybe 5am and 5pm,or every 30 minutes, etc.
how can i do that?
Thanks Much for any help.
Kevin
May be this helps you:
if((TimeHour(TimeLocal( ) )!=5&&TimeMinute(TimeLocal( ) )!=0)||(TimeHour(TimeLocal( ) )!=17
&&TimeMinute(TimeLocal( ) )!=0))return();
Put it in the beginning of start().
Could someone please have a look at this and let me know why it does not work.
I am looking to use it as a comment.

First of all replace
SELECT_BY_TICKET to SELECT_BY_POS
Second, CountPips always more then 0.
