Newbie question (how to trail take profit only)

[karlosflyer]

Hi all,

Trying to build an EA just can´t make the take profit trail as the price moves in my favor. It seems that when using trailing stop (each trade) block and activating "trail what? take profit" it moves the take profit in the oposite direction I need. Should move with upwards on longs and downwards in shorts. Thanks.

Yes, the idea is that this block can work normally (trailing SL when profiting) and like in mirror (trailing TP when losing).

You also have "Opposite stop mode" in "More settings". By Opposite stop I mean TP if the block trails SL and SL if the block trails TP. But this option is optional and will not prevent SL from trailing. The chance is that you will push TP further and further and never reach it

Anyway, there is a way to make fancy things with these blocks: https://fxdreema.com/demo/mt4-loop-trailing-stop Here I show basic version of normal trailing stop, but I guess that you can turn the things around
