Super Trailing Stop — ZST | MetaTrader 4
Super Trailing Stop is a trade management Expert Advisor for MetaTrader 4. It does not open trades. It manages positions that are already open by automatically moving the Stop Loss as price moves in favor of the trade.
The product works on any symbol configured by the user, including XAUUSD and BTCUSD. It can manage positions opened manually or by any other Expert Advisor running on the same account.
All distance and profit parameters are configured in dollars, making it straightforward to adapt to any account size or trading style without complex calculations.
Suitable Trading Styles
This tool is particularly effective for scalpers and traders operating in high volatility conditions. When price moves fast, the trailing stop follows immediately, locking in profit tick by tick. The configurable step prevents unnecessary Stop Loss adjustments during minor price fluctuations, which is critical during news events and volatile sessions.
How It Works
When a position reaches the minimum profit defined in dollars, the EA moves the Stop Loss to the entry price, eliminating the risk of loss on that trade. From that point, the Stop Loss continues to follow the price at the configured dollar distance, locking in profit progressively until the position is closed by the trailing stop or manually by the trader.
Breakeven
Once the floating profit in dollars reaches the Minimum Profit USD parameter, the Stop Loss is moved to the open price plus a small margin to cover the spread. The trade is protected from turning into a loss.
Trailing Stop
After breakeven is set, the Stop Loss follows the price at the distance defined in the Trailing Distance parameter. The Stop Loss only moves forward, never backward. It advances in steps defined by the Trailing Step parameter to avoid unnecessary modifications during consolidation or minor retracements.
Dollar-Based Configuration
All key parameters are expressed in dollars rather than pips or points. This means the EA adapts automatically to any symbol, any account currency, and any lot size without requiring manual conversion. Set your breakeven trigger in dollars, your trailing distance in dollars, and your profit target in dollars.
Aggressive Scalping Mode
When this mode is enabled, the trailing distance is reduced to 1.0 and the step to 0.3. This configuration is designed for fast trades on low timeframes where capturing small moves quickly is the priority. This mode is disabled by default.
Profit Target
An optional daily profit target in dollars can be configured. When the account equity reaches the defined amount above the starting balance, the EA deactivates automatically to protect the day results. This feature is disabled by default.
