Exit Strategy Configuration:

Antipode v2.50 consolidates every exit setting into a single Exit Mode selection and one shared Profit Target. All three modes aim at the same swap- and commission-adjusted profit target, so switching between them changes only how the basket is closed, never where it aims.

• Trailing Stop - Virtual: The trailing stop is held internally by the EA and executed as a market close. Nothing is visible to the broker, so the trail can run tighter than the broker's own minimum stop distance allows. This is the default and the recommended setting for most accounts.
• Trailing Stop - Broker: The same trail, enforced by real stop loss orders sitting on the server. Protection remains in place even if your terminal or VPS drops connection. Levels are automatically widened to respect your broker's minimum stop and freeze distances, and any position whose stop lags behind is re-synchronised automatically.
• Fixed Take Profit: Real take profit orders are placed at the weighted average target and refreshed as swap accrues. The basket banks the target exactly rather than letting winners run.

The Profit Target input governs all three modes (0 uses the built-in default). Users migrating from the retired "Regular Spread" preset should set Profit Target to 40 to reproduce the previous behaviour. Note: If your spread on AUDCAD is above 20 points then it's not recommended to use this EA in any setting.
