# Break Even

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

## Inputs[​](#inputs "Direct link to Inputs")

| Input label                  | Default | What it controls                                                   |
| ---------------------------- | ------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| Enable break-even management | Off     | Turns automatic break-even management on or off.                   |
| Break-even trigger in R      | 1.0     | How far price must move in profit before break even can activate.  |
| Break-even offset in pips    | 0.0     | Optional offset from the exact entry price when the stop is moved. |

## How It Works[​](#how-it-works "Direct link to 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.
