Any reason why this Trailing Stop doesn't work?

New comment
 

This is the code in the EA but it doesn't seem to work or modify any orders.

Anything wrong with it?

Thanks

//=============== TRAILING STOP ROUTINE

int cnt, total;

total=OrdersTotal();

for(cnt=0;cnt<total;cnt++)

{

OrderSelect(cnt, SELECT_BY_POS, MODE_TRADES);

if ( (OrderSymbol()==Symbol()) && (OrderMagicNumber()==MagicNumber) && (OrderComment()==GetCommentForOrder()) )

{

if(OrderType() == OP_BUY)

{

if(TrailingStop > 0)

{

if((Bid-OrderOpenPrice()) > (Point*TrailingStop))

{

if((OrderStopLoss()) < (Bid-Point*TrailingStop))

{

OrderModify(OrderTicket(),OrderOpenPrice(),Bid-(Point*5),OrderTakeProfit(),0,GreenYellow);

return(0);

}

}

}

}

if(OrderType() == OP_SELL)

{

if(TrailingStop > 0)

{

if(OrderOpenPrice()-Ask>Point*TrailingStop)

{

if(OrderStopLoss()>Ask+Point*TrailingStop)

{

OrderModify(OrderTicket(),OrderOpenPrice(),Ask+(Point*5),OrderTakeProfit(),0,Red);

return(0);

}

}

}

}

}

}

return(ret);

}

 

I guess it doesn't matter. I'm starting to realize that having the trailing stop is causing me to loose some more profitable trades by closing to early.
