@cmuphyfx my stop loss is configured based off the ATR

@l-andorrà I want trailing stop to move based on percentage of profit. so once profit reaches for example 3% it trails by 1%

@l-andorrà Would this be correct?

@l-andorrà i am familiar with variables and want to achieve this same thing. can you help?

What I am trying to do is check closed trades profit from history and close all charts if certain amount has been reached. I have discovered the check profit block but that is all i have so far

Is it possible to check closed profit for the day? idk maybe using bucket of trades or something of the nature. All help is appreciated

@SimonFX @PipTheRipper did anyone find the solution?

what would I need to put in the global variable?

Are there any EAs known that will disable auto trading when the settled profit/loss for the day is a percentage of the daily starting balance. I am looking for an EA that considers the settled profit/loss not the floating PnL

@jstap I know right. I didn't run into this until i made the switch from mt4 to mt5. But so far no more issues. thanks for your input my friend

yes i will be using on tick. I am referring to the "no more than n" parameter within the for each trade block. do you believe changing this to 1 will render the desired effect?

@jstap do you think using 1 in the no more than n parameter will correct the trade identification problem? because it is identifying data from other trades from other charts and the magic numbers are different

@jstap I was under that impression also but they are indeed working on the on tick block. when I used the for each block it was still inappropriately identifying the trades so i changed it to if position when i saw a thread saying this was possible. what are your thoughts?
maybe if I switch back to For each as you suggest and input not more than 1 trade for "n"

originally i had the open price parameter inside the breakeven block set to "in loop". but the phone notifications were identifying incorrectly. so I changed them all to "on trade" . Maybe I should keep the breakeven parameter as "in loop" and leave the notifications as "on trade"?

What is the difference between "on trade" and "in loop". I have parameters created to move SL to break even when profit is a certain amount of equity. It works ok but it seems to identify the profit of other trades when multiple trades are open . I have checked to make sure the magic numbers are different in this case. Here is what I have

5% profit.

Any help?
