Aurora Equinox Utilities

Aurora Equinox Utilities is a specialized management tool designed for the MetaTrader 5 (MT5) platform, specifically optimized for XAUUSD (Gold) trading. Unlike a standard trading bot that enters positions, this Expert Advisor (EA) acts as a dynamic risk management assistant, focusing on capital protection and profit maximization through an automated Trailing Stop strategy.

Key Features

• Automated Trailing Stop: Once a trade reaches a specific profit threshold (Trailing Start), the bot automatically begins moving the Stop Loss (SL) to lock in gains.

• Dynamic Price Protection: It maintains a strict distance (Trailing Distance) from the current market price, ensuring that if the trend reverses, the position is closed profitably.

• Precision Filtering: Can be configured to manage all open positions on a chart or target specific trades using a Magic Number.

• High-Frequency Monitoring: Built with a localized timer function to ensure the logic runs every second, providing rapid response during high-market volatility.

How the Strategy Works

The bot follows a systematic mathematical approach to secure your trades:

1. Activation: It waits until the price moves in your favor by a set number of points (e.g., $1.50$ movement in Gold).

2. Initial Move: It places the Stop Loss at the designated distance behind the current price.

3. The "Step" Logic: To avoid excessive server requests and "over-adjusting," the SL only moves again once the price has advanced by a minimum Trailing Step.

4. Directional Logic:

   • For Buy Orders: It moves the SL up as the Bid price increases.

   • For Sell Orders: It moves the SL down as the Ask price decreases.
