    I was wondering if anyone can tell me how break actually functions? For instance:

    I buy something at 1.5 USD, my stoploss is at 0.5 and my take profit is at 2.5.

    When my goal is hit (2.5) then the trade is done and will shut down? I need to have the ability to prepare multiple take profit goals, how can you guys do this? Split up your orders?

    Ever since I would love to buy in 1.5, possess my stoploss in 0.5 and two different take profits, initial one at 2.5 and second one in 3.5, When 2.5 is hit I wish to move the stoploss into 1.5.

    Also I'm using Metatrader 4, demo account of course. Sorry for my poor english but I hope you know.

    Greetings!

    Yup, you may not profit but on a positive note you didn't shed! Thats break even, at least its way better than shedding

    Moving to second the previous post but just one quick question, why not use a monitoring stop..given your query. .

    you could use expert advisors (ea) for that. Among the most famous is your mptm (multi purpose trade manager) by steve hopwood, watch also for details/further connections: https://www.forexforum.co.za/general...rts-ascii.html

    You are going to have to place your oders in multiples of the amount of take profit levels you want. I believe what you mean by breakeven is thst once in profit, you may transfer your stoploss up to a degree where if triggered, your loss is zero.
