SimpleStop is a utility for professional traders:
- full support for the strategy tester for manual trading (Backtest) - placing, dragging, deleting orders (also available in the demo version);
- placing orders in one click at the price with no limits on the maximum allowed offset level, as well as in a closed market. The EA places an appropriate order at the appropriate time - stop, limit or opening a position by market within the maximum slippage;
- automatic Money Management;
- automatic placement of StopLoss and TakeProfit;
- management of the Breakeven level;
- automatic Trailing stop.
Placing orders:
- press the Buy stop/limit button for a buy order or the Sell stop/limit button for a sell order.
- Hover the mouse cursor over the desired place on the chart and click the left mouse button. The EA will place the most appropriate order type: market buy-stop or limit order. If it is impossible to place an order (price is too close to the market price, market is closed, etc.), the EA creates a "virtual" pending order, which is placed on the market when a suitable case arises (price leaves the range, market opens, etc.).
- graphical objects are displayed for the virtual pending orders - horizontal lines.
Moving the StopLoss and TakeProfit levels
- move SL to the required distance, TP is calculated automatically according to the TP / SL ratio parameter. If Ratio=150, SL=200, then TP will be placed at 300 (=200 * 150%). The number of lots is recalculated to meet the MM conditions.
- move TP to the required distance, SL is not recalculated.
Managing breakeven and trailing stop
Price must reach a certain level (the Breakeven / SL ratio parameter), then SL is automatically moved to breakeven (the Breakeven SL parameter).
If the Trailing button is pressed, the SL level will follow the price.
