Forex Strategy Builder v 2.64

Forex Strategy Builder v 2.64 release comes with Break Even exit. Break Even can be set from the Strategy Properties screen.

Break Even is measured in pips. Be careful when setting the value. For example Break Even of 20 pips has to be set as 200 for a 5 digit broker.

When a position makes profit of the chosen value, Forex Strategy Builder sets Stop Loss at the break even price.

It also:

• closes a position at Break Even compensating spread, slippage and rollover fees.
• adjusts the exit properly on adding / reducing. (Break Even sets stops only if the aggregated position after the adding is on a profit. In the opposite case FSB doesn’t set stop. For that reason, we recommend using Stop Loss together with Break Even.)
• sets Break Even in the same bar if the floating profit was enough high to activate it till the end of the bar.
• works well with Intrabar Scanner and interpolation methods.

Break Even doesn’t set initial Stop Loss, therefore we recommend using Permanent Stop Loss together with it.
