Little help please for an EA
if U will set TrailingStop to 0 , traling stop will not be used.
As for order takeproft change this part:
OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,Lots,Ask,Slippage ,Ask-StopLoss*Point,0 ,ExpertComment,MagicNumber,0,Green)
to this
OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,Lots,Ask,Slippage ,Ask-StopLoss*Point,Ask+Traling*Point ,ExpertComment,MagicNumber,0,Green)
And opposite for short trade.
Regards
Kale
You type "Triling" , I understand it as "TrailingStop" and put it, but now the EA doesn't even open an order. Help.

Code that was changed:
to:
and
to
[CODE]OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_SELL,Lots,Bid,Slippag e,Bid+StopLoss*Point,Bid-TakeProfit*Point,ExpertComment,MagicNumber,0 ,Red);And I fixed traling:
[CODE]OrderModify(OrderTicket(),OrderOpenPrice(),Ask+Po int*TrailingStop,OrderTakeProfit(),0,Red);to
[CODE]OrderModify(OrderTicket(),OrderOpenPrice(),Ask+Point*TrailingStop,OrderTakeProfit(),0,Red);God bless you, Kalenzo, good job, thanks 
The earliest date from that I can test the EA is 25.09.2006, how can I have earlier hystory, because I want to test from earlier date than 25.09?

Hello, there, I have an EA, which profits are based on TrailingStopLoss. It has constant StopLoss, but doesn't have constant TakeProfit.
I'll ask any coder here to edit this EA to have TakeProfit, that can be defined by the user, and to remove the TrailingStopLoss.
Here is it:
#include

extern double TrailingStop = 50;
