Universal Trailing Stop

Universal Trailing Stop — one utility to manage every stop loss you'll ever trail.
UTS is a professional trade-management utility that automatically trails the stop loss of your open positions on any symbol and any timeframe — Gold, Forex, Crypto, Indices. It does not open trades. It protects the ones you (or your EAs) already have.
IMPORTANT: This is a trade-management UTILITY, not an Expert Advisor. It never opens positions on a live chart. It manages stops for positions opened manually or by other EAs.
7 Trailing Modes
- ATR — distance adapts to current volatility (period + multiplier configurable)
- Fixed Points / Price — classic fixed-distance trailing
- Pips — for traders who think in pips
- Bar High/Low — trail behind the previous bar's extreme
- EMA — trail behind a moving average with a configurable buffer
- Profit $ — activate and trail by dollar profit
- Percent — trail distance as a percentage of price
Profit Lock Ratchet (3 tiers)
Define up to three profit milestones. When price reaches a tier, UTS locks in a guaranteed minimum — profit can only ratchet up, never back down. Combined with automatic breakeven, your winners cannot turn into losers once secured.
Broker-Proof Distance Units (v2.0)
One input — Distance Unit (POINTS / PIPS / PRICE) — makes every preset portable across brokers, regardless of digit conventions or symbol naming (XAUUSD, GOLD, GOLD#, etc.). Set it once; all distance inputs are interpreted consistently.
On-Chart Dashboard
Live control panel with click controls: change ATR multiplier, minimum-profit gate, and step size directly on the chart. Status, positions, P&L, SL state, tier progress and locked profit — all visible at a glance. DPI-aware layout renders correctly on any display resolution.
More Features
- Works with manual trades and other EAs simultaneously (filter by magic number or manage all)
- Automatic breakeven with configurable trigger
- Minimum-profit activation gate — trailing starts only after the trade is genuinely in profit
- Min-step control to avoid excessive modify requests
- Log throttling — clean journal even on 27-million-tick backtests
Try the Demo
The free demo runs in the Strategy Tester. UTS includes a built-in demo mode (Strategy Tester only) that opens one sample minimum-lot position so you can watch the trailing engine, breakeven and Profit Lock tiers work in real time. On live charts this mode is fully disabled — UTS never trades.
