Tab: Break Even

Automatically move Stop Loss to entry price when conditions are met

Use Break Even

Default: false

Master switch for Break Even. When triggered, the EA moves the Stop Loss of all open positions in the cycle to the average entry price (±buffer), eliminating the risk of a loss on a previously profitable trade.

BE Trigger

Default: BY_TP
  • BY_PROFIT — Moves SL to BE when the total floating profit of all trades in the cycle reaches the defined amount.
  • BY_TP — Moves SL to BE when a specific TP level (defined by TP Target for BE) is hit.
  • BY_RR_RATIO ⭐ New v17.4 — Moves SL to BE when price travels a chosen multiple of the Stop Loss distance (the risk-to-reward ratio). For example, with a ratio of 1.0, break even triggers exactly when the trade is in profit by the same distance as its SL (a 1:1 move).
💡 Recommended: BY_TP is generally cleaner — it ties break even to a technical milestone (TP1 hit = signal is working) rather than an arbitrary profit figure. Choose BY_RR_RATIO when you want break even to depend on how far price has moved relative to your risk, regardless of TP levels.

Breakeven by R:R Ratio ⭐ New v17.4

Default: 1.0

The risk-to-reward multiple that triggers break even. Only used when BE Trigger = BY_RR_RATIO. The EA measures the distance between the entry price and the Stop Loss (your "risk", or 1R), then moves the SL to break even once price has advanced that distance multiplied by this value.

💡 Example: Entry at 2650.00 with SL at 2645.00 → the risk distance is 5.00 (1R). With a ratio of 1.0, break even triggers when price reaches 2655.00 (a 1:1 move). With 2.0, it waits until 2660.00 (a 2:1 move) before moving the stop.
✅ Tip: The signal must include a Stop Loss (or a fixed default SL must be configured) so the EA can measure the risk distance. If Hidden/Virtual SL is active, the virtual level is used for this calculation.

Profit for BE

Default: 1.00

Minimum floating profit in account currency required to trigger Break Even. Only used when BE Trigger = BY_PROFIT.

💡 Example: Set to 50: once the trade cycle is $50 in profit, the SL of all orders in the cycle is moved to break even.

TP Target for BE

Default: 2

Which TP level triggers the Break Even move. Only used when BE Trigger = BY_TP.

💡 Example: Set to 1: as soon as TP1 is hit (first partial close), all remaining open orders in the cycle get their SL moved to break even. The trade can no longer result in a net loss.

Price to Add on BE (pips)

Default: 0.10

A small positive buffer (in pips) added on top of the average entry price when placing the BE stop. Ensures the stop is slightly in profit rather than exactly at entry (which could result in a tiny loss after spread).

💡 Example: Entry price = 2650.00, buffer = 0.10 pips → BE stop placed at 2650.10. Even if hit, the trade closes with a tiny profit instead of break even.
