It doesn’t depend on me; I’ve already described the closing system earlier, and I always use it
Yes. But in the trading terminal, trailing stops are only set in pips. And if I’m to close the position based on the total profit, how do I calculate that in advance? It depends on how many of my own pips each leg moves.
Have you tried expressing it as a percentage of the deposit? I’m sure there are some statistics available for this.

In pair trading, the only thing that matters is the overall profit, regardless of how much each leg movesVitaly, please have a look at the screenshot.
I’m not quite sure how to interpret the signals from the i-Spr_Signal indicator.
The entry point was where the dotted yellow vertical line is drawn. But here’s what I don’t understand: the indicator should show two lines at the moment of entry. And the histogram later moved beyond these lines. What does this movement of the histogram mean?

Where’s the screenshot?
Yes. I’d forgotten. Here it is; I’ll attach it.
These are mirrored pairs ---
You need to press the reverse button; the second pair will flip, and then check the percentage gap. If it’s large, enter the market with either one or two buy orders, or two sell orders, depending on the indicator’s reading.
For the mirror pairs, you need to flip the second pair to ‘R’.
I’ve set up Revers. But regarding entry based on the indicator’s yellow lines – how should they be positioned by the time of entry?

A signal for two sell trades. But judging by the widening of the range, it’s a small one.
P.S. Do you have any other secondary indicators to confirm entry points?
And when the two yellow lines cross on the chart – what does that mean for a trader?
I’m asking because I’ve already had two profitable trades in two days.
