trail stop problem

Armin Abolfathi 2021.12.31 14:31

can any one help why this code does not work for trailing stop for buy position?in compiler has no error but while back test the EA tester stop working.

i want when the price increase 50point from open price then stoploss move 50point upward.

double StopLossBuy = Bid-100*Point
double buy= OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,lot,Ask,5,StopLossBuy,0,0,0,0,Green);
double TrailPoint=50; 
OrderSelect(OrdersTotal()-1,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_TRADES);
  while(OrderTicket()){
  if(MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_ASK)>OrderOpenPrice()+TrailPoint*Point){
  StopLossBuy = StopLossBuy + 50*Point;
  OrderModify(OrderTicket(),OrderOpenPrice(),StopLossBuy,0,0,Green);
  TrailPoint = TrailPoint + 50;
  }
  }

Still does not working. I found that this condition is not work.

  if(MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_ASK)>OrderOpenPrice()+TrailPoint*Point)
  {
  ...
  }

your original code is wrong.

At the end of "double StopLossBuy = Bid-100*Point"; none. Also, While is in an infinite loop. These were fixed and tested. In this state, he opens an endless order. You need to add a control.

double StopLossBuy = Bid-100*Point;
double buy= OrderSend(Symbol(),OP_BUY,lot,Ask,5,StopLossBuy,0,0,0,0,Green);
double TrailPoint=50; 

  if(OrderSelect(OrdersTotal()-1,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_TRADES))
   {
   if(MarketInfo(Symbol(),MODE_ASK)>OrderOpenPrice()+TrailPoint*Point)
  {
   StopLossBuy = NormalizeDouble(StopLossBuy + 50*Point,int(MarketInfo(OrderSymbol(),MODE_DIGITS)));
   bool ticketmdf=OrderModify(OrderTicket(),OrderOpenPrice(),StopLossBuy,0,0,Green);
   TrailPoint = TrailPoint + 50;
  }
   

     }

This code does not go into below loop

The code you want to change and your final code are different. The code I sent you is working and I have attached the screenshot.
Maybe a member with time can edit your code.
