Please modify attached trailing and SL EAs

Hi,

Please, could somebody add
"hidden stop loss", and
"add spread to S/L"
as options (true/false) to attached trailing S/L EAs?

AND

Attached HIDDEN TP&SL_EA.mq4 works for just one position per chart.
Could somebody modify it to manage all opened positions without adding it to each chart.

Thank you very much


Best regards

Thx for your time and effort.

It works but not 100% well.
Both filters work in forex but not in metals. maybe you can add an option to let me add (write in a setting box) in which pair or metal or whatever the EA has to be active.
e.g.: if I write in the box "All", EA has to manage every opened position, but if I write "EURUSD, GBPUSD, AUDJPY", EA has to manage only those 3 pairs. maybe this way I could use this EA or another one separately on Gold and Silver.

Best regards

I do not know why it does not work on metals.

No way, once one instance is active to manage all (both filters=false) another instance of it anywhere (one or both filters= true) or even another EA does not work. I

I haven't looked at the code, but metals and oil tend to not fall into the 5 or 3 Digits categories, so anything that has inputs as pips may not calculate correctly.
This can often be corrected by the user inputting points instead of pips.

pls. try, I have changed my BrokerDigitAdjust-function:

Inserted Code
void BrokerDigitAdjust(string symbol) {
 Multiplier=1;
 if (MarketInfo(symbol,MODE_DIGITS)==3 || MarketInfo(symbol,MODE_DIGITS)==5) Multiplier=10;
 if (MarketInfo(symbol,MODE_DIGITS)==6) Multiplier=100;
 if (MarketInfo(symbol,MODE_DIGITS)==7) Multiplier=1000;
 if (ManualPips2dblMultiplier) Multiplier = ManualMultiplier;
 pips2dbl=Multiplier*MarketInfo(symbol,MODE_POINT);
}

so set ManualPips2dblMultiplier=TRUE and enter the correct value for ManualMultiplier, maybe this helps.
I think you have to play around a bit, enter 100, 1000 or 10000, I think one of them should work ...

Thank you very much fxdaytrader.

Good news is I can now use the EA to hide SL/TP of metals but
Bad news is the main problem is still the same, it's impoosible to trade simultaneously a pair and a metal using this EA.
Using the multiplier affects on all opened orders once it's "true" in one EA instance. adding of a 2nd instance by using symbol/Magic No/Multiplier filters (one, two or all at a time) does not matter.

I think it's easier to code a new EA? is it not?

I can't think of a one size fits all for metals etc.
