Predetermination is an exit manager for trades you open yourself. It does not open positions and it does not send signals. After a manual buy or sell, it gives that trade a stop and up to six exit stages based on volatility.
Three stages come from Average True Range, each with its own timeframe. Three come from completed range: daily (ADR), weekly (AWR), and monthly (AMR). Each stage can be switched on or off. Enabled stages are sorted by distance. Nearer stages trail the stop. The furthest is posted as the take profit and marked FINAL on the chart. One stop is used at a time: an ATR stop, a fixed pip stop, an ADR stop, or no stop.
Benefits
- The exit distance follows the symbol's range instead of one fixed pip count.
- A blank trade can be opened from a phone, and the stop and take profit are filled in afterward.
- The stages are visible as colored lines, labeled with timeframe, averaging unit, pips, and points.
- All-symbols mode draws those lines on every chart that is already open for a managed symbol.
- Buy and sell trades are both managed, with a magic-number filter.
- It can run on a VPS, and each modification is printed in the journal.
Limitations
- It does not choose position size. Size the trade yourself.
- It will not create a trade. It only manages one that is already open.
- A spike can reach a nearer stage before a wider one, so the stop may lock earlier than expected.
- A stop or take profit still has to pass the broker's stop level.
- No stop means another tool, or a manual close, has to handle a losing trade.
- Daily, weekly, and monthly stages need enough completed bars. A stage without history is skipped.
- Results can differ by broker, account type, and symbol digits.
