Automatic Trailing Stop Based on Take Profit Percentage with Profit Lock EA MT4
Lock in your profits and "let your winners run" past your 100% take profit target with this EA.
This Expert Advisor automatically adjusts your Stop Loss based on up to 4 user-defined Take Profit Target Percentages, locking in your profit. If price pushes past your 100% take profit target, the EA will automatically trail the price by user-defined pips, so you won't miss that runaway train again.
EA Features
- The EA can be used on multiple, multi-direction trades on the same asset by attaching itself to specific trades based on order/ticket number. (Just attach the EA to a new chart for each trade and input the correct order number).
- Stop Loss automatically adjusts to previous take profit target
- Stop Loss activates Trailing By Points feature to lock in extra profits on trades that go past your initial 100% take profit target
How this EA works (do this after executing a trade):
1. User defines an initial take profit target and initial stop loss in points (Note: You must use POINTS, NOT PIPS here).
2. User defines 4 take profit percent targets.
For example:
TP1 = 25% (of total initial take profit target)
TP2 = 50% (of total initial take profit target)
TP3 = 75%
(of total initial take profit target)
TP4 = 100% (of total initial take profit target)
3. User defines the Stop Loss percent steps.
For
example:
When TP1 (25%) is hit, SL adjusted to 12.5% (of total initial take profit target).
When TP2 (50%) is hit, SL
is adjusted to 25% (of total initial take profit target).
When TP3 (75%) is hit, SL is adjusted to 50% (of total initial take profit target).
When TP4 (100% is hit, SL is
adjusted to 85% (of total initial take profit target)
*** When TP4 (100%) is hit, the "Trail By Points" feature is also activated, following the trade indefinitely by user-defined points.***
This EA will allow you to lock in your profits while also allowing you to capitalize on trades that push way past your original
target!
