Tab: Trailing Stop

Dynamic SL that follows price as the trade moves into profit

Use Trailing Stop

Default: false

Activates the trailing stop system. Once the trigger condition is met, the Stop Loss follows the price at a defined distance. If price reverses by more than the trailing distance, the SL is hit and the trade closes with secured profit.

TS Trigger

  • TS_BY_PIPS — Trailing starts when the position is X pips in profit (Trailing Trigger Pips).
  • TS_BY_TP — Trailing starts when a specific TP level is hit (TP Target for TS).

Trailing Trigger Pips / TP Target for TS

Default: 20 pips / TP2

The threshold that activates the trailing stop. For TS_BY_PIPS: number of profit pips required. For TS_BY_TP: which TP level activates it.

Trailing Stop Pips

Default: 15.0

Distance in pips maintained between the current price and the trailing SL. If price moves 16 pips favorably, SL moves to 1 pip behind (16-15=1). If price then reverses 15 pips, the SL is hit.

Trailing Step Pips

Default: 1.0

Minimum price movement required before the EA updates the trailing SL position. Prevents excessive SL modifications on every tick.

💡 Example: Step = 1 pip: SL updates every time price moves 1 pip favorably. Step = 5 pips: SL only moves in 5-pip increments, resulting in fewer broker requests.
