nkcoghill: I dont understand, does it do what I said?
You can not trail profit from buy increasing (or decreasing on the case of sell order) take profit value (otherwise the order would never be closed)
Instead a stop loss is placed relative to the order open price locking some profit and is moved if the price goes in a direction that allows increased temporarily profit. That is why it is called Trailing stop. Some call it trailing profit, hence I assume that you are talking about the same thing
I'm really enjoying this ea. I was wondering if someone could possibly add the function to activate the trailing stop after a certain amount of profit. Say one has hit 50 pips profit in a trade and and then a 10pip trailing stop activates once reaching 50 pips. Would much appreciate. https://c.mql5.com/forextsd/forum/129/swiss_army_ea_v2.01.mq4
First of all many thanks for this EA - it makes a hard life managing trades much easier.
I am using v2.01 - but when I tried to compile the mq4 I got numerous warnings (all like that below) but no errors.
return value of 'OrderSelect' should be checkedswiss_army_ea_v2.01.mq44387
Are these warnings anything to be concerned about ? I am using MT4 build 971 not sure if the compiler is objecting to something not previously of concern.

jrous: Thanks Andy, will try Monday...but which pips value to multiply by 10.. and where ?
Any value that is supposed to be pips.. multiply them by 10
For example:
Stoploss 30 becomes 300
Takeprofit 100 becomes 1000
Hope this helps.. I'm also waiting for monday to start so I can test it again.. Currently I'm still struggling abit with the breakeven, breakevenslide, and trailing stops settings.. but after reading the 29pages here.. I think I finally got it.. but just need to test it
