TrailingStopAndTake - sistema esperto per MetaTrader 5

This non-trading Expert Advisor is designed for the simple trailing of stop loss and take profit orders of open positions.

Principle of operation: when a new position is opened, the EA checks its stop-orders. If a stop order is not found, the EA sets one at the distance specified in the EA parameters. Then the EA starts to move the position take profit and/or stop loss, if the price moves farther than the distance specified in the settings.

You can set position type - any/buy/sell, the position symbol (any or the specified one), the magic number (any or the specified one) or the position ticket (any or the specified one). It is also possible to set trailing in the losing area - if this mode is not selected, stop orders will not be trailed in the losing area. The breakeven value can be specified in the EA parameters.

The EA has 12 input parameters:

• Initial StopLoss size in points (0 - no stop) - if a position does not have a stop loss, then a stop loss order with the specified value will be added immediately after position opening. If the parameter is equal to 0, stop loss will not be placed;
• Initial TakeProfit size in points (0 - no take) - if a position does not have a take profit, then a take profit order of the specified size will be added immediately after position opening. If the parameter is equal to 0, take profit will not be placed;
• TrailingStop size in points (0 - no trail) - trailing parameter, stop loss distance from the price. If the parameter is equal to 0, stop loss will not be trailed;
• TrailingTake size in points (0 - no trail) - trailing parameter, take profit distance from the price. If the parameter is equal to 0, take profit will not be trailed;
• Positions type - the type of positions to trail;
• Positions symbol ("" - any symbol) - the symbol of positions to trail (an empty value means all symbols);
• Positions magic number (0 - any magic) - the magic number of positions to trail;
• Position ticket (0 - all tickets) - the ticket of positions to trail;
• Trailing Step - trailing step. If the price moves away from the stop order at a distance greater than the step, the stop order will be modified so as to have the size specified in appropriate settings TrailingStop size in points and/or TrailingTake size in points;
• Trailing in the unprofitable zone - enable or disable trailing in the losing area. If disabled, stop orders will not be set in the loss zone;
• Breakeven in points - breakeven value. A losing area starts below this value;
• Spread multiplier - spread multiplier for calculating a correct distance for stop orders.
