Modify Stop-loss depending on profit

New comment
 

Good day, I want to be safe and make the expert to move the stop loss from negetives [e.g -75 points] to positives [e.g +75 points] as soon as the profit is higher than a certain points [e.g +100 points].

my code is simple at this moment and is incomplete, please dont criticize some functions, would pretty much appreciate is if you helped with the code to modify stop_loss .Thank you


void OnTick() 

  {

   / /Create an Array for several prices

   double mySARArray[];

 

   // define the properties of the SAR

   int SARDefinition = iSAR(NULL,0,0.02,0.20);

   

   // sort the price array from the current candle downwards 

   ArraySetAsSeries(mySARArray, true) ;

   

   // Define EA, current candle, 3 candlea,store results

   CopyBuffer(SARDefinition,0,0,3,mySARArray) ;

   

   // calculate EA for the current  candle

   double SARValue=NormalizeDouble(mySARArray[0],5);

   

   // calculate EA for the previous  candle

   double PrevSARValue=NormalizeDouble(mySARArray[1],5);



MqlTradeRequest request={0};

   MqlTradeResult  result={0};

   

   //--- parameters of request

   request.action   =TRADE_ACTION_DEAL;                     // type of trade operation

   request.magic    =EXPERT_MAGIC1;                          // MagicNumber of the order

   request.symbol   =Symbol();                              // symbol   

   request.volume   =0.10;                                   // volume of 0.1 lot

   request.price    = SymbolInfoDouble(Symbol(),SYMBOL_ASK); // price for opening

   request.tp       = SymbolInfoDouble(Symbol(),SYMBOL_ASK)+0.00100;

   request.sl       =SymbolInfoDouble(Symbol(),SYMBOL_ASK)-0.00070;   

   //request.deviation=0;                                     // allowed deviation from the price

   request.type     =ORDER_TYPE_BUY;                        // order type

if(

     (SARValue>PrevSARValue)

 

     )

     {

    

    Alert("sell");

    Comment("sell");

    OrderSend(request,result); 

}

}

  1. Profit will never be higher than 100 points because it will be closed at that point.
  2. You haven't stated a problem, you stated a want. If you have the code, show us your attempt (using the CODE button) and state the nature of your problem.

  3. Using Point means code breaks on 4 digit brokers, exotics (e.g. USDZAR where spread is over 500 points,) and metals. Compute what a PIP is and use it, not points.
