Find the highest point through the last candles using iHighest, then set your SL at the desired distance above that level.

1. No image posted.
2. Until you can state what you mean by “structure” in concrete terms (MA, fractal, highest, etc.) it can not be coded.

Use the ZigZag indicator. Open it (..\MQL5\Indicators\Examples\ZigZag.mq5) and look at the two buffers for high (and low).

Installed by you EA with iCustom() go back for the latest three highs (if HighMapBuffer[i] >_Point) and get the maximum of these three. Add some points if you'd like to.
