Break Even

Break even moves the stop loss to the trade entry area after price has moved far enough in profit.

Inputs​

Input labelDefaultWhat it controls
Enable break-even managementOffTurns automatic break-even management on or off.
Break-even trigger in R1.0How far price must move in profit before break even can activate.
Break-even offset in pips0.0Optional offset from the exact entry price when the stop is moved.

How It Works​

An R value is based on the initial trade risk. For example, a trigger of 1.0 means price must move one initial-risk unit in profit before the EA can move the stop.

Use a small offset only when you need to account for spread, commission, or broker stop-distance rules.

Break even and partial close

Break even is independent of partial close. You can enable partial close levels and break-even management together, but test the combined behavior before live use.
