@roar I mean to not take a loss but instead to close out at zero value from the stop loss end... not the take profit end?

Is there a method of placing the stop loss so that it will close out trades at their zero value.... ???

Similar to 'Break Even' which only closing at zero value once the trade goes in a profit

@l-andorrà hi Hope all is well during these times...?

I'm still having a bit of trouble with this....
It doesn't seem to work...

This is what i have done

what i had to do was delete the blocks in the 'on'trade' tab and then put them back in... now it has been working fine again...

thanks

i have been trying for a couple days now.... refreshing, restarting, reloading the builder but the blocks wont connect to each other in the ''on trade tab'

@l-andorrà Thanks

thanks @ambrogio .... it works
thought trailing stop always had to be at the top level....

hi..
how can i control trailing stops to activate only under specific conditions.
i.e. to only trail when there is only a buy trade OR sell trade... but if there are both a buy and sell trade active then it should not trail.

thanks in advance

Can i place a chart object e.g. a horizontal line and then use values of this line to execute buy and sell trades/orders?
In the link below i have placed a buy trade and when it gets to 10 pips in profit it should then draw a horizontal line.
If the market goes below this horizontal line then a sell trade should be placed
I've tried using the conditions block... but unable to get it to work. See link below.
thanks in advance

@l-andorrà @ambrogio Thank you...

what i would like to achieve is to check the 'equity increase' e.g. for every time that the equity has increased by $100, 100pips then do something....

To be able to insert it into a variable and compare the two against each other..

Thanks in advance.
Is there a way to read or compare current balance with the equity?

in the adjust tab in the conditions block, I am trying to measure the distance in pips which works well when i input +2 pips BUT when i try to change to >2 pips or >+2 pips... i get an error message when i compile the EA saying 'operand expected' I thought the 2 was the operand???

@l-andorrà Thanks...
All done... i understand now.

@l-andorrà I've run these the above blocks in my project but i get an error on the variables when i compile the EA

When i right click in the modify variables input field, i am unable to see a list of variables...
i would like to chose a variable based on the open price of an order?
thanks in advance

@l-andorrà oh yes i agree... the MA was a means to start the first trade in the right direction.... then the scalping EA will take over...

its actually throwing off my scalping EA.. reading from the previous candle.. is there any other way around it?

@roar ok i see... i can pretty much use the previous candles to determine the length of time the crossover happened previously and then use the information on the current candle '0'
