ok, I created my own ea using the ExpertAdvisorBuilder site, and it's working pretty well. However, there are no options to add a BreakEven stop, and I don't know how to do it. I tried a few things (copying code from other ea's that have a breakeven stop) but have not been able to get it to work. I really don't know that much about the coding.
Does anyone have any idea how to add a breakeven stop to the existing ea? (attached)
thanks
Corrected ea....
if anyone can figure out how to add a break even stop that would be great! I find that in the beginning of the trade, if it get to +30 pips and then turns around, it will probably go back over the line and into a reverse trade. So with a break even stop you can save some pips. But after it gets past that, it's better to let it run and see what happens, so I don't like to use the trailing stops.
For anyone reading this thread.... I've now got the ea with the breakeven stop. A poster on another forum was kind enough to do it.

Hi, everyone...
this is my first post and I'm not sure if this is the right place or not, so if not, please let me know!
I have a system that works pretty well for me on the AUD/JPY on the 1-minute chart (nets 200-300 pips a day). Would love to find an ea for it! I can't always watch the screen so I miss signals sometimes.
Very simple system...
Indicators:
100 LWMA (linear weighted) applied to close
3 SMA (smoothed) applied to high
3 SMA (smoothed) applied to low
When the 3 SMA applied to the high crosses down thru the 100 LWMA, Sell
When the 3 SMA applied to the low crosses up thru the 100 LWMA, Buy
You are always in a trade with this, I would like an ea that closes and reverses the position at every signal. Also manual lot size, and it would be great if I could stipulate the time of day that it runs. Since I trade manually I only trade from 8am EST to maybe 11pm EST, and not sure if it would be better to run it 24/7 or just during the day (in other words, not sure how it does with Asian session, etc). Also options for stop loss and break even. I don't actually set an initial stop loss but do usually set a stop to break even after a gain of 30 pips or so.
I actually have been using a different MA than the 100 LWMA but have found the 100 LWMA to be extremely close to the one I use. I use the xpma indicator, with a 28 period DEMA (MA_Type 4 on the indicator, attached). Really not sure which MA is better, they seem to be very close, so I figure it would be easier to make an EA with the more "normal" MA, which is the 100 LWMA.
thanks!
