Could you please use Win+Shift+S to take actual screenshots? It's quite difficult to see anything on these photos. I would also need to see the output in the Experts tab of the Terminal subwindow when you attach the EA to a chart. Thank you!

You need to re-compile the Trailing Stop on Profit.mq4 file. Before that, make sure you've copied all the folders from the downloaded archive to the MQL4 folder of your MetaTrader.

It’s a zip file.. do I extract then copy into mt4 or just extract the file when it’s in the mq4?

You need to extract three folders from that file and copy them all to the MQL4 folder of your MT4.

There is no way to trail stop every 40 points. This EA trails stop in a continuous manner. You can set Profit in points to 30 and the Trailing stop to 40. However, it will always keep SL at 40 points away from the last achieved price maximum.
