MT4 trailing stop from menu, how does code know its on ???

New comment
 
I am wrting some code to move my stop loss to breakeven after certain number of x pips profits has been secured.

BUT.. how can I turn my code off when and if I decide to start a trailing stop loss from the MT4 menu manually. Is there a function that recognises that a MT4 menu fired trailing stop is running on a particular order...???

What does this do, can it help me ???

bool IsTradeAllowed( )
Returns TRUE if the expert is allowed to trade and a thread for trading is not occupied, otherwise returns FALSE.
 
Add trailing stop into your expert advisor and do not use MetaTrader trailing. ;)
Now there is no IsTrailingActive( ) function.

I do not want to have auto matic trailing stop in my code, I want it to be optional and use it on special situations which can not be programmed.

My question again :

P.S : Note that The Code of Trailing Stop take on this site don't now .If you have an other one I need it .Thanks

Two points . . .

if you are going to post code: please use the SRC button to post code: How to use the SRC button.

please do not dredge up 6 year old threads unless you have a very good reason . . . the users in this thread are probably long gone.
