Lock profit 5 level EA

Post by firesword »

Hi guys.
I was hoping that someone could have a look at this trade managing EA for me and hopefully get it going again. It has stopped working for some reason.
Basically the EA moves stop to a desired level, as the trade moves into profit area.
Example; if trade goes to 20 pip profit it moves stop to 5 pips, if that is the amount of pips you want it to lock in profit. It does this at 5 different levels.
I used to have it at when 20 pips in profit move to 5, when 31 move to 15, when 41 move to 20, when 51 move to 35 and finally when 61 move to 50.
It was quiet an useful tool until it stopped moving stops. :roll:
All it does now is, move stop once at first level and it doesn't move after that.
Please, can someone fix it.
Much appreciated.

You have posted the compiled code here, so it is not possible to edit the code. To be editable, we need the source code.

:D
Read the effing manual, ok?

Afterprime is the official SHF broker. Read about them at https://www.stevehopwoodforex.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?p=175790#p175790.

I still suffer from OCCD. Good thing, really.

Anyone here feeling generous? My paypal account is always in the market for a tiny donation. pianodoodler@hotmail.com is the account.

Hi Steve,
I can't find source code for this little gem but I found another one of these and it's a 10 level profit lock.
Hopefully it will work.
Attached it to this post if anyone else wants to use it. ;)
Cheers.

Great find, Firesword!

I've been looking for something like this to manage StairStep BreakOut trades...

Could somebody please modify this to work with magic numbers.

Have fun!
