Moving Stop to Breakeven works in backtest but not Live
Hi,
I think the code of BreakEven must be :
void BreakEven()
{
//----
int total = OrdersTotal();
for(int i = 0 ; i<total ; i++)
{
OrderSelect(i,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_TRADES);
int ticket = OrderTicket();
//----BreakEven Code
if (OrderMagicNumber()==Magic && OrderSymbol()==Symbol())
{
if (OrderType()==OP_BUY)
{
double CurrentProfit = Bid - OrderOpenPrice();
if (CurrentProfit>=BreakEven*Point)
OrderModify(ticket,Bid,OrderOpenPrice(),OrderTakeProfit(),0,Red);
return(0);
}
//-----
if (OrderType()==OP_SELL)
{
CurrentProfit = OrderOpenPrice() - Ask;
if (CurrentProfit>=BreakEven*Point)
OrderModify(ticket,Ask,OrderOpenPrice(),OrderTakeProfit(),0,Green);
return(0);
}
}
}
}
Also you can use my advanced "Stepped" BreakEven.

Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? This part of the code works in backtesting but does not work properly in live testing.
TH
total = OrdersTotal();
for(int i = 0 ; i<total ; i++)
{
OrderSelect(i,SELECT_BY_POS,MODE_TRADES);
ticket = OrderTicket();
//----BreakEven Code
if (OrderType()==OP_BUY && OrderSymbol()==Symbol())
{
CurrentProfit = Bid - OrderOpenPrice();
if (CurrentProfit>=BreakEven*Point && OrderMagicNumber()!=Profit1)
OrderModify(ticket,Bid,OrderOpenPrice(),OrderTakeProfit(),0,Red);
}
//-----
if (OrderType()==OP_SELL && OrderSymbol()==Symbol())
{
CurrentProfit = OrderOpenPrice() - Ask;
if (CurrentProfit>=BreakEven*Point && OrderMagicNumber()!=Profit1 )
OrderModify(ticket,Ask,OrderOpenPrice(),OrderTakeProfit(),0,Green);
// if (OrderLots()==1 && CurrentProfit>=30*Point)
// OrderModify(ticket,Ask,Ask+StopLoss*Point,Ask-TakeProfit*Point,3,Green);
}
