hehe, you cannot mix these things together.

to demonstrate why let us fill the words with values:
breakeven = 1.3000 price - (7 USD) * 0.00001 points -> this cannot work ;)

I think what you mean is the stoplevel, read about that at http://book.mql4.com/appendix/limits
you have to check if the distance between the current price and the desired stoploss-price is at least = the stoplevel
