In this code, it has the trailing stop set for 45 pips. But the trailing stop doesnt seem to Activate until it moves 45 pips. How would I need to change it to have the trailing stop activated when the trade is placed?

Changed in Red
I made the changes in red, but now the EA doesnt seem to want to work. I'll post the whole EA for you to take a look at. Thanks!
Make sure you put () after orderstoploss
Cool, that did it!
How about this indicator....
Could it be modified to have the prices show different colors depending on how they open? Like if it opens higher than the previous bar the price would be green, if lower, then red, and if even then yellow? With these colors being selectable? Also, could you extend it to show 10 openings instead of just 6?
Also on the EA we just fixed, How would I put an input setting like, "Pips to Activate Trailing Stop". I have this in another EA but unsure how to code it.
OrderComment()
OrderTicket()
OrderLots()
OrderStopLoss()
OrderTakeProfit()
OrderOpenTime()
Those are all potential order-filtering tools.
What else about those specific trades makes them unique?

What else about those specific trades makes them unique?Two of the most important for filtering orders are OrderSymbol() and OrderMagicNumber(). Another of note is OrderComment().
The best idea is to enter one of these into the Metaeditor, then click on the word asnd then press F1. Doing so will display the help and list all of the order functions.
Happy programming,

Using OrderComment
Be careful when using OrderComment() to identify trades. Sometimes the broker will add characters to the comment.
It is best to use
if (StringFind(OrderComment(), UserComment, 0) > 0)
{
// order identified by UserComment found in OrderComment
}
instead of
if (OrderComment() == UserComment)
{
// order might be identified by UserComment
// if OrderComment was not changed by broker
}
