BTCUSD Break-Even Issues
-
I can't figure out why in the world I can't get the break-even to work properly on BTCUSD. I've tried everything I can think of. Every time I enter a trade and I get just a little bit in profit I get stopped out. Is there something where the pips aren't being calculated correctly within the code? I've also tried % of TP for the parameters and still have the issue.

@kmfoster79 When entering the name of the couple put the quotes, or leave any symbol, it should work
The same with the other blocks

@ambrogio I tried it with any symbol at first and had the same problem.

try this, it is a mq4 file because I don't have the BTC on MT5, you can copy and save it as mq5, for me it works
please note that BTC pips are not calculated like normal pairs

@ambrogio Thanks I could've sworn when I first did this I accounted for the pip difference. Guess I did something wrong. Same thing with XAUUSD too right? Is it the same calculation as BTC or one less zero?
Is it possible that an EA placed on one chart could impact another chart? Have you come across any issues like that?

@kmfoster79 For metals, indexes and special pairs, the point is calculated differently, I am attaching a screenshot as an example and a spread indicator that can be useful
As for the Expert Advisor, each of them works with his own magic number

Ok, I just checked and it is definitely changing my BTCUSD SL even if it's on a different chart. I had the EA only on my USDJPY chart and as soon as I activated it my stop loss was moved on BTCUSD. I even tried putting in conditions so that it wouldn't happen but it doesn't matter. How can I fix this? I don't know if the fact that I'm using a VPS has anything to do with it.

@kmfoster79 If you work on multiple pairs you have to work separately, delete what you put on "on init"
i've not tryed

open my blocks as an example

Guess what just stumbled on??? I'm going to try to change my global settings and simplify everything to see if that resolves this issue.
