Horizontal line trailing stop

Hello, I am currently looking for a EA that will do these things :

-Place a stop loss as soon as a manually placed horizontal line is reached.
-Place the stop loss at the horizontal line location.
-If the horizontal line is manually moved again, adjust the stop loss as soon as price
reaches the horizontal line again.
-Takes multilots into account.

thats it.

Please if this ea already exists (i searched for it quite a lot) or you have an idea, share it
thank you.

If you place a stop at horiz line once price reaches line then it would immediately close the position.
If it was easy then I would do it !!

Hello j11, i know of a similar ea that will place a stop as soon as a ma is reach. Indeed, if price retraces by as less as 0.01 pip, sl is triggered (thats what i want it to do anyway), but if price keeps trekking with no retrace the sl stays there until the retrace happens.

Instead to be a ma i want it to be a horizontal line with a location of my choice, and preferably trigger it at the ''ask'' price.

Hi, use ObjectFind and ObjectGet as in the example below but first don't create the line in "OnTick()" do it in "init()" then in OnTick() add this code:

Inserted Code
double dATRStopLoss = EMPTY_VALUE;
if (ObjectFind("HLine") == 0) {
  dATRStopLoss = NormalizeDouble(ObjectGet("HLine",OBJPROP_PRICE1),Digits);
} else {
  // add error management code here (hline not found)
}

Hope that helps

Should dATRstoploss be declared as a global variable then?

You can declare ddATRstoploss as a global variable if you need to use it outside OnTick. It depends on how you intend to use it

Hello Jay
I've seen somewhere a TL ea but I don't recall, try in mt4 codebase or may be in this forum, you need to dig a little bit.
