Is there a way to set a "-" BE rule?
03 Dec 2020, 01:45


So using the Advanced Protection to move my SL to 0 once my trade goes so many pips in my direction. All good except the program moves the SL to 0 plus spread so 0.0 actually becomes +0.8 and a couple of times this week price closed by 0.1 before going on to win. Thats cost me $4000 this week alone.

Anyone got any ideas on how to make this 0 a hard 0 without manually moving the SL once the BE rule is actioned? Even the bots I use all do it as well.

Hi marshalmax9,

The break even logic moves the SL at the level at which when the SL is triggered, your P&L will be equal to 0. This is the definition of Break Even. If you need a custom functionality for moving your SL, you can write a cBot.
