Add smart trailing

MQL5 Experts Forex

Specification

Hello,

I have the EA source code ready, and it is open-source/editable. I need you to add and improve the trailing stop logic with two clear inputs:

1. Trailing Start
2. Trailing Step

Please implement it carefully and accurately.

Trailing Start  
This is the profit distance where the EA starts activating the trailing stop.

Example:
If Trailing Start = 35 pips, the EA should not move the Stop Loss until the trade reaches +35 pips profit.

Trailing Step  
This is the step distance used to move the Stop Loss after trailing starts.

Example:
If:
Trailing Start = 35 pips  
Trailing Step = 12 pips  

Then the logic should be:

- At +35 pips profit → move SL to around +5 pips profit
- At +47 pips profit → move SL to around +17 pips profit
- At +59 pips profit → move SL to around +29 pips profit
- At +71 pips profit → move SL to around +41 pips profit
- At +83 pips profit → move SL to around +53 pips profit

The Stop Loss should always trail behind the current profit by the selected step distance.

Very important requirements:

- The EA must only move the Stop Loss forward in profit.
- The EA must never move the Stop Loss backward.
- The trailing must work correctly for both Buy and Sell trades.
- The EA must calculate pips/points correctly on XAUUSD and XAUUSDm, especially on Exness.
- The trailing must continue working correctly after partial close.
- If partial close is enabled, the EA should close 50% first, then manage the remaining position with break-even and trailing stop.
- Avoid repeated unnecessary SL modifications on every tick to prevent errors, freezing, or broker rejection.
- Please make sure the logic respects broker stop levels and minimum distance rules.
- If a manual Stop Loss already exists, the EA should respect it and only improve it when the trailing condition is reached.
- Please keep the existing EA features and only add/improve this trailing logic without breaking the current workflow.

Suggested default settings for XAUUSD:

Partial Close Trigger = 30 pips  
BreakEven Trigger = 30 pips  
BreakEven Offset = 5 pips  
Trailing Start = 35 pips  
Trailing Step = 12 pips  

Also, if you think there is a better professional improvement for gold trading, such as ATR-based trailing, spread filter, or news/time filter, please suggest it before implementation.

Please test the EA carefully on XAUUSD/XAUUSDm to make sure the trailing stop works exactly as described and without execution errors.
