Petko shared this updated EA last week, for the EUR/USD currency pair.
EA Studio EURUSD M15 56512203hi
Hello all.
I have my EA break even setting set at 300 points, stop loss 300 and TP600, But even when trades have hit TP the stop loss has not been moved to break even What am I doing wrong here?
I’m confused about the trading hours 01 to 23 in the robot… I’m in the UK on GMT and my broker is GMT +3 so what do I need to set the trading hours to in the robot settings. Confused!
Thanks for your help
Pabs
Further to my equation on BE SL…after recompiling with the logilewrite set true ..This i what i see in the Experts log… many attempts to set the SL but none executed

The SL will not change. The breakeven order will override SL price.
No trades will be taken until after 1 hour after the market opens and will stop placing trades 1 hour before the market closes.
Alan,
Just got the same problem. Position exists, but SL can’t be moved to break even. “position doesn’t exist” is not reassuring.
I moved the SL manually
looking at the code and the error message thats not what i see happening. What i see is the EA trying to move stop to BE to protect against a loss after being up 300 points.
Anyway, that still doesn’t fix my problem with the error message which is trying to set stop to breakeven ?

Hello all, yes I’m having the same problem seems like there is an issue with the EA So currently I’m also setting SL to breakeven manually.
This is happening on MT5 not sure if it also occurs on MT4, but this issue needs to be fixed ASAP
After your trade makes a profit of 300 points or more AND the trade reverses direction Breakeven will place a breakeven order to protect your account from loss. The SL in the EA properties box will not change. The breakeven order will override SL set in the properties box.
Alan,
Alan, thanks for your replies but …
Thats not what the EA is trying to do it seems to me…its trying to move the SL to breakeven….that’s the error message in the logfile…

the important part being in bold italics.
That doesn’t answer the fundamental question … why are we getting error messages? Whatever it is that the EA is trying to do is NOT WORKING.
Is there a document where the EA settings are fully explained, especially this BREAKEVEN setting ? Or perhaps whoever setup the strategy for the Ea builder needs to come on the forum and give a definitive answer !
Here’s the code …. its trying to set the SL not open a “breakeven” order…
if(position.PosType==OP_BUY)
{
breakprice=position.OpenPrice+_Point*commission/position.Lots;
if(tick.bid-breakprice>=_Point*breakeven)
{
if(position.StopLossPrice<breakprice)
{
if(WriteLogFile)
logger.WriteLogRequest(“SetBreakEvenStop”,
“BreakPrice=”+DoubleToString(breakprice,_Digits));ModifyPosition(breakprice,position.TakeProfitPrice);
Print(“SetBreakEvenStop(“,breakEven,”) set StopLoss to “,
DoubleToString(breakprice,_Digits),”, Bid=”,tick.bid);
}
}
}I too am trading the FTMO EA’s and they are working correctly. When one of the EA’s reverses direction it will set a new SL at breakeven but the original SL does not change. You can see the original SL by a small red dash after the new SL is set at breakeven. So, the original SL does not move, however a new SL is set at breakeven. There is nothing wrong with the EA coding. FSBpro does not create faulty coding. When you compile the EA in MetaTrader Editor you can see there is no errors. If you are seeing error messages in your log file then the EA is not set up properly or there is an issue your broker. If you are using FTMO challenge or FTMO demo account and the EA is set up properly in MT4 or MT5 it will work correctly. The FTMO video lectures show how to set up the EA’s and how they perform when tested.
