If a trade moves in your favor, you can move your stop to your entry point so that you at least break even on the trade.
With the Break-Even Strategy app, you can now automatically move your existing stop to the break-even point.
Break-Even Strategy takes an existing open trade or pending entry order and adds a target level that moves the existing stop loss when triggered. After the trade reaches the target profit number of pips, the existing stop loss moves to either break-even or a user-inputted offset of break-even. Additionally, you have the option of this new stop becoming a fixed or dynamic trailing stop.
Note: The Break-Even Strategy modifies existing stops; it doesn’t create a new stop loss order. Likewise, a position’s stop loss order must be created before running the app.
