Auto Breakeven can be set before entering a position as part of a stop strategy. You can also enable or disable it on a working stop loss order.
If you move your mouse over an active stop loss order in the buy cell for a buy order or sell cell for a sell order and press down on your right mouse button, you will see a menu of all working orders. Each working order menu has a sub menu that displays any applicable strategies that can be enabled or disabled. In the above image, you can see that Auto Breakeven is currently enabled. By selecting the "Auto Breakeven" menu, you can enable to disable it. You can change the parameters by selecting the "Auto Breakeven Properties" menu when Auto Breakeven is disabled.
