Trailling And Cutloss Manager - User Guide
🎯 Overview
This EA (Expert Advisor) manages your entire portfolio's profit with automatic trailing stop and cut loss features, plus manual trading capabilities.
📊 Control Panel Layout
1. Main Control Buttons (Top Row)
| Button | Description |
|---|---|
| TRAIL: ON 🟢 | Trailing Stop system is ACTIVE - monitors portfolio profit |
| CUT: OFF 🔴 | Cut Loss system is INACTIVE - will not close positions on loss |
How to use:
- Click to toggle ON/OFF
- Green = Active, Red = Inactive
- Both systems can run simultaneously
2. Trailing Stop Settings
| Field | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Trail Target ($) | 100 | Portfolio profit must reach this amount to activate trailing |
| Trail Stop ($) | 10 | How much profit drawdown allowed before closing all positions |
| Trail Step ($) | 5.00 | Minimum profit increase to update peak profit level |
Example:
- Profit reaches $100 → Trailing activates
- Peak profit = $100
- If profit drops to $90 ($100 - $10) → Close all positions
- If profit increases to $105 → Update peak to $105
- New exit level becomes $95 ($105 - $10)
3. Cut Loss Setting ⚠️
| Field | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Cut Loss ($) | -500.00 | Maximum portfolio loss allowed |
How it works:
- When portfolio profit reaches -$500, all positions close automatically
- This is your emergency stop loss for the entire portfolio
- Red color indicates critical safety feature

Scenario 1: Conservative One-Trade Setup
- Set Trail Target = $100, Trail Stop = $10
- Set Cut Loss = -$50
- Keep Trail->OFF and Cut->OFF (green)

⚠️ Safety Features
- SL Protection: When trailing activates, system sets Stop Loss on all positions
- Confirmation: Close All button requires YES confirmation

- Portfolio-Based: Monitors total profit, not individual positions
💡 Pro Tips
- Start Conservative: Use small lot sizes (0.01-0.05) when testing
- Trailing Step: Set to 10-20% of Trailing Stop for smooth operation
- Cut Loss: Should be 2-5x larger than Trail Stop for asymmetric risk/reward
- Test First: Use demo account to understand behavior before live trading
