Trailing Stop Manager Basic — Free Trailing Stop EA (MT5)
Trailing Stop Manager Basic is the free version of Trailing Stop Manager PRO. This MetaTrader 5 Expert Advisor automates fixed-pip trailing stop management, break-even, and 1-level partial close across all open positions on your account. It works with manual orders and orders generated by any other EA.
The tool includes a professional visual dashboard identical to the PRO version — daily statistics, real-time P&L, position status, and interactive controls.
A free PDF user guide is available on request: send me a private message via MQL5 after download to receive it. The guide covers full configuration, best practices per instrument, and recommended settings.

FAQ
Does the EA act on pending orders?
No, only on open positions.
Can I manage multiple symbols?
Yes — leave TrailSymbol empty to manage all positions on the account, or set a single symbol to target.
Can Break-Even and Trailing work together?
Yes. Break-even kicks in first, then trailing takes over.
Is ON/OFF status kept after MT5 restart?
Yes, via GlobalVariables.
