PointsToKeep = 1 //how much pips/points to keep in profit above of below our entry price when the breakeven is activated (beware of spread) startBreakeven1 = 11.5 //reset the breakevenLevel when no trade are on market IF NOT ONMARKET THEN breakevenLevel=0 ENDIF // --- BUY SIDE --- //test if the price have moved favourably of "startBreakeven" points already IF LONGONMARKET AND close-tradeprice>=startBreakeven*pipsize THEN //calculate the breakevenLevel breakevenLevel = tradeprice+PointsToKeep*pipsize ENDIF //place the new stop orders on market at breakevenLevel IF longonmarket and breakevenLevel>0 THEN SELL AT breakevenLevel STOP if close-tradeprice>=startBreakeven1*pipsize then quit endif ENDIF IF shortONMARKET AND tradeprice-close>=startBreakeven*pipsize THEN //calculate the breakevenLevel breakevenLevel = tradeprice-PointsToKeep*pipsize ENDIF //place the new stop orders on market at breakevenLevel IF breakevenLevel>0 and shortonmarket then exitshort AT breakevenLevel STOP if tradeprice-close>=startBreakeven1*pipsize then quit endif ENDIF

  Give your topic a meaningful title. Describe your question or your subject in your title. Do not use meaningless titles such as ‘Coding Help Needed’ (code help in your case).

  Thank you 🙂

  ************************************

  Try adding:

  GraphOnPrice breakevenLevel     coloured(128,0,0,255) as "BreakEven" GraphOnPrice (close-tradeprice) coloured(0,255,0,255) as "LongPROFIT" GraphOnPrice (tradeprice-close) coloured(0,0,255,255) as "ShortPROFIT"

  1 2 3

  GraphOnPrice breakevenLevel     coloured(128,0,0,255) as "BreakEven" GraphOnPrice (close-tradeprice) coloured(0,255,0,255) as "LongPROFIT" GraphOnPrice (tradeprice-close) coloured(0,0,255,255) as "ShortPROFIT"

  at the end of your code to monitor, on the price chart, the three values retained each bar.
