Perhaps you have put it in the wrong folder as it is a Script not an EA ?????

I have updated the code so that it does not remove the Takeprofit levels when removing the Breakeven level. I have also made it into an EA as this gives more flexibility to alter the Breakeven levels once the EA is loaded on the chart as the Script has to be reloaded to make any alterations to the Breakeven value .
NOTE : Negative values can be used if you want to set a Stoploss before the trade is in profit.

Hi CJA,

I am having trouble with the box/button sizes. I tried to go in and modify the sizes but you have locked the EA from being modified which I understand. However it is proving to be a major problem using it on my laptop. Any chance you can amend this or make it possible to customise the sizes.
Sorry for being needy and thanks for your help.

Cheers

NOTE: Just because I re-coded this EA does not automatically mean I am prepared to code any other MT4 EA's/Indicators/Scripts for MT5
It is not really a conversion but a total rewrite because MT5 trading functions are totally different to MT4 so originally I thought that I would not have the time to code it in MT5 however I got a little spare time today. This EA works exactly like the MT4 EA posted earlier in this thread.

Hi!

I saw you're looking for a Break Even EA for MT4.

I've written a simple one from scratch for you. It monitors open positions
and moves the Stop Loss to breakeven when the price reaches a certain
threshold. You or your coder can easily integrate the core logic into any EA.

Key features:
• Works with manual and automated trades
• Configurable activation trigger (in points)
• Configurable breakeven offset (in points)
• Optional trailing stop after breakeven

I'm sharing the full source code (.mq4) below — free to use and modify.

How to integrate it into your EA:
Just copy the core function and call it on every tick from OnTick().
It checks all open positions and modifies the Stop Loss when conditions
are met.

Let me know if you have any questions.
