Hi,

I have written the code below for trailing stoploss. it does work but on the other end it seems to keep spamming lots of error in the log too. which makes me confuse.

input int                     TrailingStart           = 150; //Trailing Start
input int                     TraillingStop           = 30; //Trailing Stoploss

void TrailStops()
{
   
    
    for (int i = 0; i < OrdersTotal(); i++) {
        if (!OrderSelect(i, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES)) {
            continue;
        }
  
        if (OrderSymbol() != Symbol()) {
            continue;
        }
        
        if (OrderMagicNumber() != MagicNumber) {
            continue;
        } 
        
        if (OrderComment() != Comment) {
            continue;
        }
       if((OrderType()==OP_BUY) && (CheckTotalNumberOfOrders_Buy() == 1))
       {
           if(((Bid - OrderOpenPrice()) > (Point*TrailingStart)) && (OrderStopLoss() < Bid - Point*TraillingStop ))
           {
               

                  
                  int ticket=OrderModify(OrderTicket(),OrderOpenPrice(),NormalizeDouble(Bid-Point*TraillingStop,Digits),OrderTakeProfit(),0,Blue);
                  
                  if(ticket <= 0) return;
                  
              
           } 

        } 
        if((OrderType()==OP_SELL) && (CheckTotalNumberOfOrders_Sell() == 1))
        {
          if(((OrderOpenPrice() - Ask) > (Point*TrailingStart)) && ((OrderStopLoss() > Ask + Point*TraillingStop) || (OrderStopLoss() == 0)))
            {
                   
                   int ticket=OrderModify(OrderTicket(),OrderOpenPrice(),NormalizeDouble(Ask+Point*TraillingStop,Digits),OrderTakeProfit(),0,Red);
                   
                   if(ticket <= 0) return;

            }       
        }
    }
   
}

void OnTick()
  { 
   if (( (CheckTotalNumberOfOrders_Buy() == 1)||(CheckTotalNumberOfOrders_Sell() == 1)))
   {
      TrailStops();
   }
}

You normalize the SL when you set it, but you don't normalize when you check it.

OrderModify returns a bool, not an int.


Topics concerning MT4 and MQL4 have their own section.

In future please post in the correct section.

Hi Thanks,

I just changed it to 

       if((OrderType()==OP_BUY) && (CheckTotalNumberOfOrders_Buy() == 1))
       {
           if(((Bid - OrderOpenPrice()) > (Point*TrailingStart)) && (OrderStopLoss() < NormalizeDouble(Bid-Point*TraillingStop,Digits)))
           {
               

                  //Trailing_SL_Point = Bid-Point*TraillingStop;
                  int ticket=OrderModify(OrderTicket(),OrderOpenPrice(),NormalizeDouble(Bid-Point*TraillingStop,Digits),OrderTakeProfit(),0,Blue);
                  //Print("modify BUY :", DoubleToString( NormalizeDouble(Bid-Point*TraillingStop,Digits)));
                  if(ticket <= 0) return;
                  
              
           } 

        } 
        if((OrderType()==OP_SELL) && (CheckTotalNumberOfOrders_Sell() == 1))
        {
          if(((OrderOpenPrice() - Ask) > (Point*TrailingStart)) && ((OrderStopLoss() > NormalizeDouble(Ask+Point*TraillingStop,Digits)) || (OrderStopLoss() == 0)))
            {
                   //Trailing_SL_Point = Ask+Point*TraillingStop;
                   int ticket=OrderModify(OrderTicket(),OrderOpenPrice(),NormalizeDouble(Ask+Point*TraillingStop,Digits),OrderTakeProfit(),0,Red);
                   //Print("modify SELL :", DoubleToString( NormalizeDouble(Ask+Point*TraillingStop,Digits)));
                   if(ticket <= 0) return;

            }       
        }

but it still same issue.

I can see the order being modified. however in the log it shows OrderModify Error 130. even though it manages to modify the order itself (Backtest).

Please Change this code

if((OrderType()==OP_BUY) && (CheckTotalNumberOfOrders_Buy() == 1))
       {
          // if(((Bid - OrderOpenPrice()) > (Point*TrailingStart)) && (OrderStopLoss() < NormalizeDouble(Bid-Point*TraillingStop,Digits)))

          if(((OrderOpenPrice() - Ask) > (Point*TrailingStart)) && ((OrderStopLoss() > NormalizeDouble(OrderOpenPrice()+Point*TraillingStop,Digits)) || (OrderStopLoss() == 0)))
            
            {
                   //Trailing_SL_Point = Ask+Point*TraillingStop;
                   //int ticket=OrderModify(OrderTicket(),OrderOpenPrice(),NormalizeDouble(Ask+Point*TraillingStop,Digits),OrderTakeProfit(),0,Red);

I think I found the issue. it seems sometime it has issue in modifying the order on the wrong tickets. hmm but sometime not. weird. not sure if this is just issue with my Backtest MT4 client.
