is there any possibility to get an initial stop into the order ? e.g.
entry long
1. initial stop 50
2. be to 0 at 50 pips +
3. every 50 pips a step.trail with 50 pips
number 2 and 3 i can realize with the ea, but not 1 ? or have i missed something in the settings ?

I never added this because I never needed it - always set my sl on sending the trade.
I gather there is a demand for this feature, so I will code it sometime. Right now, I am busy elsewhere, so 'sometime' might be a while away.
o.k. but how do you open a position with sl and magicnumber ? do you have a skript which can do that ? (i have only one for open with magicnumber and another for open a position with sl/tp - but none, which merge this function in one... ) if you have such a skript, please upload it...
thank you for the ea and the help

Sten
is it possible, to write beside the magicnumber also an comment into the buy/sell script ? this script is great, but i have the problem to differentiate some orders in the same pair by the traded system...

oh sorry, i'm so blind... thanks for advice... uhh, its early in the morning...
but i have another problem: the skript "market long" in this zip file is an skript which enter the market "short" and not "long" -- i am not a programmer, i can set up the lotsize/magicnumber etc. in the metaeditor, but i dont know how i can change the skript fot enter long instead of short...
int ticket=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,Lots,Ask,0,stoploss,takeprofit,TradeComment,MagicNumber,0,Green);
Hi Steve,
Thank you for your efforts on this great script.
I like to trade to targets, lets say T1, T2 and T3 and these are in 3 different contacts.
I like to set a stop, and when the price has reached a target, I like to move the stops accordingly. When T1 is reached I go to breakeven, When T2 is reached I like to go to a few pips below T1, when T3 is reached I closeout my positions.
Can that be added to this script? I know I can just calculate the number of pips, but I like to input the price better. So e.g. instead of moving 50 pips, I like...
Hehe. Well done. Nearly 3,000 downloads and you are the first to notice.
Mind you, you will be embarrassed.
Ok, so the first line of the script reads the comment: Market Short by Steve.mq4
but
The OrderSend line in this script reads:
The operative bit here is OP_Buy. No way can this send a sell trade. This is clearly a buy script. All that is wrong is that I forgot to change the comment when I copied the buy code (which I adapted...Inserted Codeint ticket=OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,Lots,Ask,0,stoploss,takeprofit,TradeComment,MagicNumber,0,Green);
It's funny how I didn't catch this either (I only used the script as a learning sample), and since I was righting my own trade script (BuySellCloseModify + BasketTrades [Script]) I never put that error into my trade script. It works fine, hehe...
if (OrderType()==OP_BUY)
{
// First check if sl needs setting to breakeven
if (sl==0 || sl<OrderOpenPrice())
{
if (ask >= OrderOpenPrice() + (JumpingStopPips*point))
{
sl=OrderOpenPrice();
if (AddBEP==true) sl=sl+(BreakEvenProfit*point); // If user wants to add a profit to the break even
if (OrderModify(OrderTicket(),OrderOpenPrice(),sl,OrderTakeProfit(),0,CLR_NONE))
{
if (ShowAlerts==true) Alert("Jumping stop set at breakeven ",sl, " ", OrderSymbol(), " ticket no ", OrderTicket());
Print("Jumping stop set at breakeven: ", OrderSymbol(), ": SL ", sl, ": Ask ", ask);
if (PartCloseEnabled && OrderLots() > Preserve_Lots)// Only try to do this if the jump stop worked
{
bool PartCloseSuccess = PartCloseTradeFunction();
if (!PartCloseSuccess) SetAGlobalTicketVariable();
}//if (PartCloseEnabled && OrderLots() > Preserve_Lots)
}//if (OrderModify(OrderTicket(),OrderOpenPrice(),sl,OrderTakeProfit(),0,CLR_NONE))
return(0);
}//if (ask >= OrderOpenPrice() + (JumpingStopPips*point))
} //if (sl==0 || sl<OrderOpenPrice()
}//if (OrderType()==OP_BUY) Hi Steve
Could you please explain a bit further some of the settings under the Hedge options.
Is it possible to have a trailing stop incorporated in the Hedge Trades?
Also I have noticed that that when using Breakeven at 21 pips and Breakeven Profit of 16 pips on 99% it works perfectly but sometimes it will open the SL at only 2-3pips gain, is this a result of slippage? and do I need to have the Breakeven set at maybe 30. I would appreciate your advise.
Thanks
