Hi Dave
I tried to download but it goes to anew site where it is paid.
Is it not free anymore?

{quote} Came across the article and thought it may be a nice add-in. https://www.ea-coder.com/hide-stop-l...ultiple-pairs/ Thanks
Hi Dave,
Somewhat like a functionality that could check if price is within a percent of the number of pips to gain and set the stop loss to the fraction gained already. Which is slightly different to the SetStopLossToBreakEvenPips logic.
Nice to know the EA has some gains if price does not attain its desired no of pips
before trialing stop kicks in.

I have enclosed an amended EA that hides SL and TP, and monitors these positions programatically. The only problem is the dependency on the host MT4 program for SL and TP protection and I do not recommend that scenario because in a fast moving market, orders may not be accepted at the desired level and slippage will be a factor.

{quote} The SetStopLossToBreakEven logic does exactly what that article describes, in that it locks in a 1 pip gain once that level is achieved. There is no movement of SL until the trailing level is established. I have enclosed an amended EA that hides SL and TP, and monitors these positions programatically.

Awesome thanks Dave. Will test this.

{quote} It is possible but that is not my desired direction for the EA. You must understand there is no limit to the amount of tweaking and the requests average out at around 10 per week and there are more than enough permutations and combinations. If you require that, you are free to make to changes programatically or by manually amending the SL level.
Thanks Dave,
I should be able to tweak the code, grateful if you give me a hint on what section within EA does the magic.
Thanks

{quote} Lines 1523 and 1538 of the above code refers to a Variable called PointValue. Change that to (PointValue * SafePips) where SafePips is a new External Variable which represents the number of pips required.
Fantastic!!! Thanks Dave
