Overview (Short Description)

Detailed Description

1. Core Features

• Breakeven Management: Automatically moves Stop Loss to entry price plus a defined buffer after reaching the first Take Profit (TP1).

• Trailing Stop: Gradually tightens the Stop Loss as the price moves in your favor, with customizable step and distance.

• Gold-Specific Parameters: Special overrides for pips, trailing stops, and breakeven when trading XAU or GOLD.

• Apply to All Trades: Manage positions across all symbols and Magic Numbers or restrict to a specific Magic Number.

• Error Handling & Safe Modifications: Uses OrderSend() with checks to handle SL/TP modifications.

2. Requirements

   • TP1_Activation_Pips : Distance in pips to consider the target “hit”.

   • Breakeven_Buffer_Pips : Additional pips above the entry price to place SL at breakeven (for buy) or below entry (for sell).

2. Trailing Stop Settings
