Break Even and Trailing Stop EA MT5

This EA ("Break-Even and Trailing Stop EA") is designed to manage open trades automatically, by:

1. Moving the stop loss (SL) to break-even when certain conditions are met.

2. Applying a trailing stop after break-even is reached, to secure more gains.

It does NOT open new trades — it only manages existing trades.

You can choose different symbols to apply Break Even and Trailing Stop separately.

Step 1: Inputs / Settings

When you load the EA, it asks you to configure:

Step 2: On Every Tick (Price change)

Every time the price changes (tick event), the EA will:

1. First, try to apply Break Even (if enabled).

2. Second, apply Trailing Stop (if enabled).

However, If both break even and trailing stop are enabled for the same symbol:

✅ Break Even has priority.
✅ Only after Break Even conditions are satisfied will Trailing Stop work.

Inside the MoveToBreakEven() function:

1. Scan all open positions.

2. For each position:

   • Check if its symbol is listed inside BE_SYMBOLS .

   • Check if Break Even is enabled.

   • If current gains is enough (either reaching fixed pips or % of TP), then:

     • Move the Stop Loss (SL) to entry price  + small buffer.

     • Only moves if the current SL is not already better than entry price.

🔵 Example:
You bought EURUSD at 1.1000.
You set BE_TRIGGER_PIPS = 20 .
When price reaches 1.1020, the EA will:

• Move your SL from 1.0970 (original) → 1.1002 (Entry + 2 pips buffer).

Inside the ApplyTrailingStop() function:

1. Scan all open positions.

2. For each position:

   • Check if its symbol is listed inside TRAIL_SYMBOLS .

   • Check if Trailing Stop is enabled.

   • If Break Even was already achieved (SL at or beyond Entry), and:

     • Price has moved enough (fixed pips or % of TP),

     • Then trail the stop loss to protect more gains.

   • Only move SL if the price moved enough beyond the last SL ( TRAILING_STEP distance).

🔵 Example:
After Break Even is hit:

• EURUSD moves from 1.1002 → 1.1030.

• EA moves SL from 1.1002 → 1.1010 (20 pips trailing distance, depending on settings).

• Every time price moves another 5 pips ( TRAILING_STEP ), SL will move again.

• Pip Size Handling:
  Automatically adjusts based on broker (3 digits, 5 digits, etc.) using SYMBOL_POINT .

• Precision Control:
  Proper double handling to avoid rounding issues.

• Safe Checks:

• Separate Lists:
  You can:

  • Apply Break Even only to certain symbols.

  • Apply Trailing Stop to other symbols.

  • Or apply both to the same symbols.

• Where BE and trailing stop are enabled for the same pair, trailing stop only starts after Break Even is handled. So no conflicts — it’s safe and logical.

• Each Position is checked separately.
  The EA handles multiple trades at the same time without mixing them up.
