Hi all,

I have a problem trying to bring my stop loss to break after price has moved in my favour, can anyone help?

The following coding is not doing anything:
```
// Stops and targets
SET STOP PLOSS 180

IF LONGONMARKET AND close-tradeprice(1) >= 270 THEN
SET STOP LOSS (tradeprice(1) + 20)
ENDIF
```
Thank you in advance!

Hey, did you fixed it yet? Here is a posible solution:
```
// Stops and targets
SET STOP PLOSS 180

// Market Spread
Spread = 1*Pipsize

IF NOT ONMARKET THEN
stoploss = 0
ENDIF

IF LONGONMARKET AND close-tradeprice(1) >= 270 THEN
// SET STOP LOSS (tradeprice(1) + 20)
stoploss = TradePrice(1)+spread
ENDIF

SELL AT stoploss STOP
```
Have a nice day and better trading!

Hey guys,

Please also keep in mind that “+20” needs to be converted to the pip size of the instrument if needed.
