Trailing Stop Code?

Thanks for the code... When you have an open order in MT4, you can left click on it and then set a trailing stop that the system handles automatically so you don't have to update it tick-by-tick. Is there no way to do this through code of an EA? I have a feeling that if I'm modifying orders tick by tick through a live EA, the broker will not be too happy about that.

Thoughts?

hello there ! how to code EA to take 1 trade per signal and wait for new signal for next trade even it hit tp. Example if EA place buy trade in buy signal and it hit the 5pip and current trend is buy when tp hit it will not place anymore trade in buy trend it will wait for next new signal which will be sell then it will place sell trade . any code or function for this

int direction uses only {-1,0,1} with -1 being a Short direction trade (sell sided) and 1 being a Long direction trade (buy sided)

void createTrade(const string symbol, int direction, double lot_size, int magicNumber, string tradeComment, 
                  datetime expiration=0, color colour=clrNONE, int openBuys = 1, int openSells = 1)
{
 int buyCount = 0; //How many Longs are open
 int sellCount = 0; //How many Shorts are open
 int count = OrdersTotal(); //Total amount of alive positions
 
 for(int i = count-1; i >= 0; i--) //Checks the internal order manager for open positions...
   {
    if(OrderSelect(i, SELECT_BY_POS))
      {
       if(OrderSymbol() == symbol && OrderMagicNumber() == magicNumber) // ^ From this bot...
         {
          if(OrderType() == ORDER_TYPE_BUY) buyCount++; // ^ and their type
          if(OrderType() == ORDER_TYPE_SELL) sellCount++;
         }
      }
   }
   RefreshRates();
   if(buyCount < openBuys && direction == 1) //If less orders are open than the limit, place a new order of the assigned type
      {
       if(OrderSend(symbol, OP_BUY, lot_size, Ask,3,Ask - pipsToDouble(Symbol(), 15),Bid + pipsToDouble(Symbol(), 30),tradeComment,magicNumber,expiration,colour)){} //if statement hides a compiler warning
      }
   if(sellCount < openSells && direction == -1)
      {
       if(OrderSend(symbol, OP_SELL, lot_size, Bid,3,Bid + pipsToDouble(Symbol(), 15),Ask - pipsToDouble(Symbol(), 30),tradeComment,magicNumber,expiration,colour)){} //if statement hides a compiler warning
      }
}

{quote} Looks like you just want to limit it to 1 trade per direction, I have some example code that I use as a cheap/dirty prototyping order maker so I would recommend making it more robust than what is provided int direction uses only {-1,0,1} with -1 being a Short direction trade (sell sided) and 1 being a Long direction trade (buy sided) void createTrade(const string symbol, int direction, double lot_size, int magicNumber, string tradeComment, datetime expiration=0, color colour=clrNONE, int openBuys = 1, int openSells = 1) { int buyCount =...
