Scaling In or Pyramiding every time Trailing Stop moves to breakeven

[monaphilips]

Good day guys,

I am trying to code an EA that opens a new trade as soon as the trailing stop for the previous entry is at breakeven. I want to do this at least 5 times when the trailing stop is above the previous entry price.

//2nd Sell Order
OrderSelect(SellTicket,SELECT_BY_TICKET);
if(StopLoss < OrderOpenPrice())
        {
                if(AFastMA < BFastMA && BuyMarketCount(Symbol(),MagicNumber) == 1)
                        {

                                //Open Sell Order
                                SellTicket = OpenSellOrder(Symbol(),LotSize,UseSlippage,MagicNumber);                           
                        }
        }

Thank you.

OrderSelect(SellTicket,SELECT_BY_TICKET);
if(StopLoss < OrderOpenPrice())

1. You are selecting by ticket. No where do you check if the order is still open.
2. StopLoss is a variable. It is not the order's SL.

Ok, pls how do i do that? "SellMarketCount"? Or do i give each order a specific description?

[monaphilips]

This is what I did although it is still not working:

I selected the previous order and checked to see if the price (Close[1]) has moved a certain distance (Pyramid) in my favour before opening a new order:

Pls what is wrong with the code?

if(ABuyTicket > 0)
         {
         OrderSelect(ABuyTicket,SELECT_BY_TICKET);
         OpenPrice = OrderOpenPrice();
         double StopPrice = OrderStopLoss();
         
         //Open 2nd Buy Order
         if(((OpenPrice + (Pyramid * PipPoint(Symbol()))) < Close[1]) && (Close[1] > AHigh)
         && (equity > balance) && (BuyMarketCount(Symbol(),MagicNumber) < 2))
            {
            BBuyTicket = OpenBuyOrder(Symbol(),LotSize,UseSlippage,MagicNumber);

            //2nd Buy Order Modification
            if(BBuyTicket > 0 && (StopLoss > 0 || TakeProfit > 0))
               {
               OrderSelect(BBuyTicket,SELECT_BY_TICKET);
               OpenPrice = OrderOpenPrice();

               //Calculate and Verify Stop Loss (and Take Profit)
               BuyStopLoss = CalcBuyStopLoss(Symbol(),StopLoss,OpenPrice);
               if(BuyStopLoss > 0)
                  BuyStopLoss = AdjustBelowStopLevel(Symbol(),BuyStopLoss,5);

               BuyTakeProfit = CalcBuyTakeProfit(Symbol(),TakeProfit,OpenPrice);
               if(BuyTakeProfit > 0)
                  BuyTakeProfit = AdjustAboveStopLevel(Symbol(),BuyTakeProfit,5);

               //Add Stop Loss (and Take Profit)
               AddStopProfit(BBuyTicket,BuyStopLoss,BuyTakeProfit);
               }
            }
         }
