Good afternoon you all,
I have this Expert Advisor in which I can set take profit and stop loss in points. I want to change this parameter with the percentage of the investiment. For example, when the profit is at 25% of the amount invested or when the loss is at -70% of the amount invested the investiment will close. I hope someone will help me. Have a good day.
