I want to make a candle trailing stop ea , and i want to add one more option "Trail Only In Profit" .
For example if i set candle back 4, when current candle 5 have create then stop loss only start move to the candle i set high or low .
And one more problem , is the ea only trail on buy but not trail on sell .
I cant find the problem .
Any one can giving a helping hand ?
Thank You .

Code: Select all

  int BuyStopCandle  = iLowest(NULL,0,MODE_LOW,CandlesBack,0);
 int SellStopCandle = iHighest(NULL,0,MODE_HIGH,CandlesBack,0);
 int err;
 
      //
         
         int    digits     = MarketInfo(OrderSymbol(),MODE_DIGITS);
         double point      = MarketInfo(OrderSymbol(),MODE_POINT);
         double PointRatio = 1;
               if (digits==3 || digits==5) PointRatio = 10;
               
 for(int b = OrdersTotal()-1; b>=0; b--)
 {
  MyResult = OrderSelect(b,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_TRADES);
    if(OrderMagicNumber() == Magic)
      if(OrderSymbol()!=Symbol())               continue;
        if(OrderType() == OP_BUY)
          RefreshRates();
          
          if(OrderStopLoss()<Low[BuyStopCandle]-PipAmountsForTrailing*point)
             MyResult = OrderModify(OrderTicket(),OrderOpenPrice(),Low[BuyStopCandle]-PipAmountsForTrailing*point,OrderTakeProfit(),0,CLR_NONE);
              err=GetLastError();
               if(err==4 || err==136 || err==137 || err==138 || err==146)
               {
                  RefreshRates();
                  continue;
               }
            break; 
         }                     
 
 for(int s = OrdersTotal()-1; s>=0; s--)
 {
  if(OrderSelect(s,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_TRADES))
    if(OrderMagicNumber()== Magic)
      if(OrderSymbol()!=Symbol())               continue;
        if(OrderType() == OP_SELL)
          RefreshRates();
          
          if(OrderStopLoss()>High[SellStopCandle]+PipAmountsForTrailing*point)
             MyResult = OrderModify(OrderTicket(),OrderOpenPrice(),High[SellStopCandle]+PipAmountsForTrailing*point,OrderTakeProfit(),0,CLR_NONE);         
              err=GetLastError();
               if(err==4 || err==136 || err==137 || err==138 || err==146)
               {
                  RefreshRates();
                  continue;
               }
   }
}

for my understanding, a trailingprofit should work always without any rules, if in profit, trail it, because trailing based on hard settings is diametral to an dynamic trailingprofit...dynamic market needs dynamic rules...
