hi, I'm new to EA's so please forgive my ignorance

I ran the EA on a buy position i had already opened, set it to 10 pip B/E
& 15 pip trailing stop I noticed however, the "loss pips" was going up as my profit went up?

anyway, it went past 15 pips profit but nothing seemed to be happening,
on rechecking settings I found I hadn't set "allow live trading" (doh!)

now it closed the position straight away?

any ideas?

thanks.

Ryan, can you tell me if this EA works on a mini account?

Thank you.

It works on any account, regardless of size.

i just wanted to post an expert that includes several ways for managing stop loss/taking profit.
it was developed by Bluto and Robert.
i might be a good idea to incorporate any of those to your expert...

Thanks for posting this EA. Can you also post the "hma3" indy because I am getting run-time errors and can't tell how the EA or the stop methods work.

Here you have it.

Ryan, I've noticed that the text information on this Ea that records the gain/loss and percentage remains at one price for quite awhile, even while the actual profit/loss goes up and down. I'm wondering what triggers the "close all orders"; is it the actual profit/loss or is it based on the same information as the text that is so delayed?

Thank you again.

It does rely on the delayed text information. The reason for the delay is that the EA only updates on each tick, as with ALL EAs. No tick = no update. This will only be a problem if you are attempting to manage a basket-load of currencies from a single chart. You can run multiple instances of the EA on different currencies (so you will have more ticks) to try and alleviate the problem a bit.
