If you want to recalculate the value of the StopLoss again at OrderModify, just insert the following two lines at line 1395. if (OrderType() == OP_BUY && StopLossATRPeriods != 0 && UseTrailingStopLoss == 1) StopLossPrice = Bid - ...

You can't get any more accurate than every tick. Every ATR criteria can be dealt with. I think we need to move on and if the code doesn't suit your agenda then you can alter it!

The Bid and Ask reflect the highest high and the lowest low because that code is running on every tick so that the moment a new profit level is reached (done in 5% increments to avoid excessive amendments), the trailing stop loss is adjusted. (the ...

That's what ATR does. The trailing stop follows the price. From Post #710 StopLossATRPeriods to 22 and your StopLossMultiplier to 3 (or whatever settings you need) and let the trailing stop loss do it's work

It's just a trailing stop loss which has always been in the EA. The entry is in ATR and PriceEMA mode 2.

I'll Google it and get back to you. EDIT: just set your StopLossATRPeriods to 22 and your StopLossMultiplier to 3 (or whatever settings you need) and let the trailing stop loss do it's work.

If you just want to use the TP and SL multipliers on their own (without the ATR periods), they assume a different function. They then take on the money management functions initially discussed in Post #237 together with an ongoing dialog. That is ...

I take your point. I really only removed the word exasperated. Your must understand that the answer was so logical, because I had gone into detail about how to set take win. It was just like your last question where the info panel right in front of ...

That is because you have not set any StopLoss details.

Regarding the activation point, the SetStopLossToBreakEven should cover that scenario because it is the overrider. Regarding the rate of decrease, the percentage is only adjusted after every 5% move in profit (which is fixed), but the amount of ...

The help file explains this in full detail. Exactly the same considerations as for TakeProfit!

The example trading strategies have now been redone and also a new TradersGift Trading Concept has been posted at Post #1. Included are 4 sets of examples optimized for the 7 Majors over the last 3 months. The optimized values have the green ticks. ...

You need to set TakeProfitATRPeriods and TakeProfitMultiplier only. (TakeProfit can be left at zero). If you are not optimizing, there is no need for the green tick. With those settings, say TakeProfitATRPeriods=10 and TakeProfitMultiplier=2. The ...

Thanks for your contribution Shawn. In your first file, because you have set the TakeProfitMultiplier at 1.5 and left TakeProfitATRPeriods at 0, TakeProfit is automatically calculated as 150% of StopLoss. In your second file, even though you have ...

It's taken about 500+ posts to get beyond , "I don't understand this" "I have a new system" "Could you consider this". Maybe this is the way it had to evolve. I will tell you now, when I started this thread, I wanted better minds than my self to ...

My EA Gift to Traders

Great advice. I am definitely not a fan of extended back testing and will include a reference to your post at Post #1. Curve fitting is one of the greatest hoaxes of commercial EA's. I deleted a tongue in cheek post the other day where I suggested ...

Alex, I have to be honest, this is too complicated and falls into a specialized category. I will not be interrupting the logic flow on betting progression. It was your idea to set a minimum pip level and now you want to ignore it again and begin to ...

That's fine Shawn. As long as when you embark on a new strategy you effectively zero out all the previous inputs by pressing the Reset button. In the case that you posted, you had obviously used an older set file and some of the inputs did not ...
