Dear Apprentice,

Apart from setting stop breakeven, does it lock in profit by resuming its trailing stop?

Not for now.

Seem to get an error when I use this strategy on more than one position on the same pair -- despite ensure that the correct ticket no. is picked for each Strategy.

I'll try again and copy Error report, if that helps.

Can any one else get this to work?

I enter two positions with 45pip stop, then open Breakeven Strategy, and set profit to 10 pips, for each position (order), when 10 pips profit is reach I get the following error pertaining to each position:

"Failed create/change stop Cannot place more than one order of this type for each trade."

Hi Apprentice,

Thanks for making this new breakeven strategy, as the previous version of this strategy did not worked. This one works perfectly as expected.

Would it be possible if it can automatically update the ticket number of a newly open trade? Because along the way, the open trade is either closed by other strategies or hits limit/stops. It's tedious closing and reopening this breakeven strategy every time a new trade is opened. :roll:

In theory, yes.
I hope I will find time soon.

Still can't get it to work. Following error:

"Failed create/change stop Cannot place more than one order of this type for each trade."

Seems to not work if there is more than one position in any pair -- this is despite making sure different orders are picked in Breakeven Strategy.

Still can't get it to work even if only have one position open on a chart at a time. Same error.
