KF Trailing Stop Master — Professional Adaptive Trailing Stop & Auto-Breakeven Manager for MT5
KF Trailing Stop Master is a comprehensive position management utility designed to protect profits and automate trade risk management. Featuring 5 adaptive trailing stop algorithms and an independent auto-breakeven engine, it dynamically trails open positions according to market structure, volatility, and trend momentum. Built with strict broker stops-level and freeze-level validation, it helps avoid trade modification rejections while maintaining a disciplined one-way ratchet rule.
KEY FEATURES
- 5 Adaptive Trailing Stop Algorithms:
1. Fixed Points (Classic): Trails position stop loss by a user-defined point distance and minimum step increment.
2. ATR Dynamic (Volatility): Adapts trailing distance dynamically to market volatility using the Average True Range indicator.
3. Parabolic SAR: Follows trend acceleration curves using completed bar SAR values.
4. Market Structure Swings: Places stop loss behind confirmed swing high and swing low pivot points.
5. Previous Candle High/Low: Trails behind the high or low of the previous closed candlestick with extra protective buffer.
- Independent Auto-Breakeven Engine:
Automatically shifts Stop Loss to entry price plus a configurable profit lock-in buffer once the position reaches the target profit threshold.
- One-Way Ratchet Safety:
Stop Loss only moves in the direction that locks in profit and reduces risk. The utility never loosens or regresses your stop loss.
- Broker Stops-Level & Freeze-Level Protection:
Pre-validates current price distance against broker minimum stops and freeze levels before submitting requests, minimizing order rejection errors.
- Flexible Position Filtering:
Manage positions on the current chart or across all account symbols. Filter by manual trades (magic 0), specific expert advisor magic numbers, or trade direction (buy only, sell only, or all).
- Lightweight On-Chart HUD:
Clean, non-intrusive status overlay displaying current trailing mode, managed position count, and active broker stops level.
- Multi-Channel Notifications:
Optional terminal pop-up alerts and mobile push notifications when breakeven or trailing modifications take place.
