Stop Loss

This EA is awesome. The major parts of it I really use is the trailing stop and that is perfect for locking in profits. I do have a problem with using the stop loss feature as well as the break-even.

I had the EA set to 50 pips stop loss, and discovered I was at a loss of over 90 pips and my trade was still active. So i was wondering if there is anything I didnt understand about it. My account is a mini and should that mean a 50 pip stop-loss should be set to 500 pips? I really dont understand that part.

With break-even, I have never used it before and really don't understand the concept. Doesn't it mean a point where you want to lock in a little profit in case the market goes against you? I read the manual and still couldnt interpret it entirely.

This is indeed a life saver! Thanks to everyone behind this EA!

Probably your settings wrong . Try the attached "set" file and only change: Stoploss,Take profit,Trailing Stop,Breakevenat, Breakevenslide etc. values on your favor.

About the "Breakevenat" and "Breakevenslide";

For example if your setttings :

Breakevenat = 10

Breakevenslide = 2

When It reaches 10 pips It will move the stoploss to 2 pips level and lock 2 pips.

Another Ex.:

Breakevenat = 20

Breakevenslide =10

When it reaches 20 pips It will move the stoploss to 10 pips level.

Breakevenat = 15

Breakevenslide = 10

So if I understand this, when my profit reaches 15 pips it will move my stoploss to my open price, and then when reaches another 10 pips it would move my stoploss to 10 pips positive, locking 10 pips. is that right?

Nope;

if:

Breakevenat = 15

Breakevenslide = 10

When you have +15 pips it will move the stoploss to 10 pips level.

If you want to move thestoploss to opening price when you have 15 pips ,you have to set:

Breakevenat = 15

Breakevenslide = 0

and use the "trailing stop" to manage next pips and stop loss level..

can you give me an example when reaching a 15 profit level the stop loss is moved to breakeven and then trailstop next pips, lets say every 15 pips gained.
