That's actually the default behavior for the Entry line. The SL lines moves with the Entry line only if you set SL distance to points or if you are in ATR-based mode.
Hi, I've been using the EA for quite some time and I'm loving it. The one thing I haven't yet figured it yet is how to move my entry to break even? Once I'm in a trade, I'd like to move my entries to BE, is it possible to do with this EA?
Move your entries to BE? Like you want to open the next trade where your current trades' BE is? You need to get some BE indicator to calculate the price for multiple trades (I assume you have multiple trades because it's trivial if there's just one of them) and then just set that price as the Entry level on the panel's Main tab.
Sorry I don't think I explained it very well. Once my trade is at a certain level of profit, I'd like to move my SL to BE. There are times I have multiple entries so moving my SL to BE at the click of 1 button would be super useful and I'm not sure if the feature exists with this EA
No, there is no feature to move the SL of all the existing trades to BE at the click of a button. However, there is the breakeven option that will move the SL of the existing trades to BE once a certain number of points of profit is reached by a trade. Please see the Trading tab.
You can also install a breakeven script and launch it whenever you want to move the SL to BE on your trades. You can even assign a hotkey to it in your MetaTrader and launch it using that hotkey.
Good morning, I work with a portfolio, sometimes opening up to 8 positions simultaneously at the same time, I would like to configure this ea to close all positions when all of them add up to a 4% drawdown, is it possible? Can anyone help me do this? sorry for my bad english
If you are opening the trades once with the Position Sizer, setting the risk to 4%, then it will set size will correspond to the overall drawdown of 4% at the given stop-loss.
If you are opening trades separately at different times and want to keep a tab on a 4% drawdown, then Account Protector will be more suitable.
I got the same problem i installed the Position Sizer and it is only making weird sounds when i press trade?
Hi. My position sizer isn’t working. It keeps making weird sounds when placing a trade. Their are no errors in the expert map. I don’t know what is wrong
Could you please post a screenshot of the Experts tab when that happens?
@frankraaij2000 That's no the Experts tab, that's the Errors tab in the MetaEditor. The Experts tab is in the MetaTrader. It looks like this:

@frankraaij2000 That's exactly what it says: autotrading is disabled by the server. You need to contact your broker about this because this is under their exclusive control.
My strategy requires entries have stoploss dependent on pair. Currently I am trading:
AUDUSD (12 pip SL)
AUDJPY (15 pip SL)
I have created 2 different mq5/ex5s specific for these pairs.
When I apply PS to AUDUSD, it shows the SL in points correctly on the main tab, like this:
However, when I apply the other ex5 to AUDJPY, it always shows SL at a level, like this:
On AUDUSD, SL changes as price moves, always maintaining as 12 pip stop.
On AUDJPY I need to keep pressing the 'Stop-Loss' button on the main panel to keep updating it.
'SL Distance in points instead of a level' is set as 'true' on both.
When I apply the AUDUSD ex5 to AUDJPY it also flips to SL at a level instead of SL in points. So could it be something to do with JPY pairs?
Does anyone know what's going on?
I am expecting them both to be show in main panel 'SL, Points', '120' for AUDUSD and '150' for AUDJPY.
I tried with EURJPY and it worked correctly. Then tried again with AUDJPY and it showed correctly. Closed down all charts and MT5, reopened only AUDJPY and still a problem.

Only thing in experts tab is this:
It got flipped by pressing the
Shift+S combination and stored in the panel's settings file, which is specific for that AUDJPY chart. It also won't delete that panel settings file due to a bug in 3.07 (fixed in 3.09). However, you can just press Shift+S again to switch it to points again.Similar threads
