Okay so if you use
double stop;
stop=stoploss*Point();
Print(DoubleToString(stoploss));
By using the Point() function this should get you your value of stoploss and then you have to either add or subtract it from respectively Bid and Ask to give you the price level of your stop.
The same works for take profit but of course in reverse.
You can check some of the EA's in code base there are a lot of examples and variations on how coders do these things in their EA's.
For example heres one called Trailing Master https://www.mql5.com/en/code/16136
// 1. Main function

if(Digits==5 || Digits==3) pip=Point*10;
//--- 1.2. Trailing -------------------------------------------------------
for(i=0;i<OrdersTotal();i++)
{
if(OrderSelect(i,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_TRADES)==true)
{
if(OrderSymbol()==Symbol() && TS>0 && OrderProfit()>0)
{
if(UC==true && OrderComment()==Comm && UM==true && OrderMagicNumber()==Magic && OrderType()==OP_BUY && OrderOpenPrice()+TS*pip<=Bid && OrderStopLoss()<Bid-TS*pip) w=OrderModify(OrderTicket(),OrderOpenPrice(),Bid-TS*pip,OrderTakeProfit(),0);
if(UC==true && OrderComment()==Comm && UM==true && OrderMagicNumber()==Magic && OrderType()==OP_SELL && OrderOpenPrice()-TS*pip>=Ask && (OrderStopLoss()>Ask+TS*pip || OrderStopLoss()==0)) w=OrderModify(OrderTicket(),OrderOpenPrice(),Ask+TS*pip,OrderTakeProfit(),0);

if(UC==true && OrderComment()==Comm && UM==false && OrderType()==OP_SELL && OrderOpenPrice()-TS*pip>=Ask && (OrderStopLoss()>Ask+TS*pip || OrderStopLoss()==0)) w=OrderModify(OrderTicket(),OrderOpenPrice(),Ask+TS*pip,OrderTakeProfit(),0);

}
}
}
//--- 1.3. End of main function -------------------------------------------
Where you can see the coder Il Anokhin fist defines pip.
But here is another example called E-smart trailing from Дима https://www.mql5.com/en/code/8674
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
void ModifyStopLossInPoint(int stoploss)
{
bool result;
double sl = 0;
double point = MarketInfo(OrderSymbol(),MODE_POINT);
if (OrderType() == OP_BUY) sl = OrderOpenPrice() + stoploss * point;
if (OrderType() == OP_SELL) sl = OrderOpenPrice() - stoploss * point;
result = OrderModify(OrderTicket(),OrderOpenPrice(),sl,OrderTakeProfit(),0,CLR_NONE);
if (result && UseSound) PlaySound(var_132);
}
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
Notice the subtle differences in doing things.
I always try various things until i find something that works best.
Okay so if you use...
Omg, just quick check out amazing thanks for everything before I started reading and trying something. I will try that soon.
One more time huge thanks @Marco vd Heijden
The objects are stacked on top of each other so its important to let chartevent () know which clicks on what button or objects have the highest priority over other objects that might overlap.
Huge thanks Man, I liked your comments which one that are more clearly and more useful.
All the best to you.
Okay so if you use
I always try various things until i find something that works best.
I am just trying to understand your good comment and then write some good codes for my Orders, Stop Loss and Take Profit functions - thanks for that.
So, I already tried something like below code, and I need to be sure are both EURUSD and FB Stop Loss Value right, for 10 pips? ( if you want to know what I am thinking - just I think yes below logs / results both are right value for 10 pips. )
e.g: stoploss value = 10; Position - BUY
log: EURUSD | price (ask): 1.05633 / Stop Loss: 1.05533
log: FB | price (ask): 119.69 / Stop Loss: 119.59
( I call below function by void OnChartevent() )
//---
if ( sparam == _buy_name_btn )
{
ObjectSetInteger( 0, sparam, OBJPROP_STATE, false );
_Buy_calc_SL_TP();
Print( " | Click Verify / ");
}
//---
return;
{
//---
if ( _StopLoss_ON == true )
{
//_Sl = OrderOpenPrice() - _StopLoss * _Pip;
_Sl = Ask - _StopLoss * _Pip;
Print( " | Buy Calc SL TP Function / StopLoss: ", _Sl );
}
//---
return;
}
Seems to be working.
I will try to involve Mr. William's comment to head of EA's code - thanks once again William. Great Pip's Calculation MQL4
( please do not blame me because this code industry looks like very widely for me, and sometimes I loss my mind - anyway I hope I will finish my Trade Panel EA's codes soon )
And I will share my test EA's code after I finished it for is that code good / right or what? ( because I am not professional coder / programmer - I am working on it - )
Keith Watford:
Ok, fair enough. I can't be bothered to read some of your posts because it hurts my eyes.
If others feel the same, then you miss out, not me.
Market is closed, and I am not sure anything else. But I tried something like below code, I feel I missed something but I can't find it.
( I would like to mention, my Trade Panel EA's have code's for Open Buy, and Open Sell positions, but I am trying to write it with my hand, that I am sure how this EA's works )
Thanks in advance for your help and advice.

It looks okay, but you can not use ordermodify like that, you first have to select an order with OrderSelect() function.
