What is this
Breakeven is a one-shot script for MT4/MT5: on run, it moves the stop-loss of filtered positions to breakeven (with an optional buffer). The difference from the automated Move Stop to Breakeven EA: this script triggers manually and exits after one pass — for the moment you decide to lock floating profits now; the EA version monitors continuously. The two complement each other, and this site carries both.
How it works
- Filters positions by symbol/magic/direction/P-L before touching them
- Moves SL to entry ± buffer points, favorable direction only
- Exits automatically after the single pass — nothing stays resident
Installation (3-step summary)
Full install guide →- 1. Download
Grab the zip via the buttons above
- 2. Unpack & copy
Put .ex4/.ex5 and .mq4/.mq5 into the matching MQL4/MQL5 folders
- 3. Enable
Restart or refresh the Navigator, drag it onto a chart, allow automated trading
Usage notes
- Compile from MQL4/Scripts (or MQL5/Scripts); drop on a chart to execute
- For continuous auto-breakeven, use the Move Stop to Breakeven EA in our Utilities category
⚠ Risk notes
- Set the buffer at least above the spread, or a 'breakeven' exit can still book a small loss

▸ How is this different from Move Stop to Breakeven?
This script fires once on demand; the EA stays resident and auto-moves at a profit threshold. They complement each other.
▸ Does it only touch profitable trades?
P/L filtering is optional — you can also apply it to everything matching symbol/direction.
▸ Any side effects from re-running?
None — re-runs on already-breakeven trades simply no-op since stops never move backward.
