I'm running MPTM with a 15 BE +5 BEP. This works as expected. However I've also set 30 pip jumping stop but this never gets applied. At the moment I have two pairs more than 40 pips beyond the SL but MPTM hasn't updated the SL since the BEP.

I've been through the code and I seem to have the relevant settings enabled correctly:

ManageByMagicNumber=true;
MagicNumber=1;
ManageAllTrades=true;
.....
JumpingStop=true;
JumpingStopPips=30;

Any suggestions?

thanks

I think the jumping stop jumps after price advances to 2 times the JumpingStopPips. In your case, when you get to be 60 pips ahead, it should lock in 30 pips. Then, when it hits 90, it should lock in 60 pips.

OK. Using what you've said I reduced the JS to 3pips to see the effect on a couple of pairs in profit.

usdjpy - SL: 79.560, price: 79.628 (gap = 6.8 pips) - JS increased the SL to 79.590 (3pips as expected)
chfjpy - SL: 86.925, price: 87.175 (gap = 25 pips) - JS made no change to SL - stays at 86.925!

It seems to be inconsistant.

EDIT: actually, I've just restarted Empty4 and it now seems to be working for the chrjpy pair - Empty4!

Say I use the JumpStopLoss settings, if I put 8 pips the EA says 80, if I put 10 the EA says 100 and so on.
It keeps putting a 0 behind any amount of pips I input.
Any suggestions?

Cheers,
