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;//

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+

//| script program start function |

//+------------------------------------------------------------------+

int start()

{

//----

int ot = OrdersTotal();

for (int i=0; i<ot; i++)

{

int o = OrderSelect(i, SELECT_BY_POS);

if (OrderSymbol() == Symbol()&&OrderType() <2)

{

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());

}

//----

return(0);

}

Second, CountPips always more then 0.
