Script to set to BE+1

  • First Post: Edited 11:56am Apr 15, 2011 10:37am | Edited 11:56am
I have a script that sets a stop loss to BE....I have changed to name of the script but don't have a clue how to fix it to set trade to +1, rather than just break-even. Any coders out there who might be able to help?
Thanks

Cheers

Here you go. For 4 digit broker.

Set SL to BE+1
Modify line listed below for 5 digit broker. Test on demo before going live with it.
double BEPlus=1.0; // Change this value to 10 if you have a 5 digit broker

Set SL to BE+1a.mq4
Automatically sets the broker digit size. Test on demo before going live with it.

Both scripts worked on SELL trades when tested. I Can't find anything wrong with the script. Try this and see if it gives an error msg:

5 minutes programming, 45 minutes testing and debugging. Sometimes it just doesn't flow.

Hi,
since the version posted here was a bit too complicated with a lot of code not used i cleaned the code, so this version should work a bit better

This one works fine with my MT4. Thanks. I was looking for a new SL to BE script.

Does the script work if I were to tidy up my stop to say -10pips? For example I drag-and-drop a script to buy at 1.2900 with a set 20pips stop and set 60pips target. At some point I want to tighten the stop to 10pips. Can I use this script and set "BEPlus=-10" (with negative sign in value)?
