Major Update: Added backtest/optimization of trailing stops on trading signals and two new indicators: RSI and Stochastic
- added RSI trailing stop
- added Stochastic trailing stop
- added ability to drop signal history (in CSV format) to tester/files and have it be recognized by the EA, so that one can backtest/optimize an ideal trailing stop configuration upon that history
Version 2.59
2021.11.25
Major Update: Added backtest/optimization simulation and reversal elements
- added global input, Reversal = true/false; if true, then it will reverse direction when the closing bar crosses over (under) the trailing stop. Default=false.
- added glogal input, Number of Reversals, to allow for any number of reversals. Default=3;
- added other input, Backtest Initial Long (Short) Size to allow for adding any number of lots for long or short trading in MT4 backtester, to test and optimize
any trailing stop configurations, including the reversals above. Default=0, inactive.
- added global input, Maximum grid lines, to control the amount of rows to display

Version 2.46
2021.06.05
- added a filter so if the market of the symbol is closed, then UTS won't try to change the SL
Version 2.45
2021.05.29
- added SL debugging tool
Version 2.44
2021.05.26
-improved filtering method consistency for Symbol. Filter Symbol condition = Equal and Filter Symbol value = Current are now the default settings, meaning that UTS out of the box manages the trades of the symbol that UTS is dropped upon. What is the advantage? It frees up the Filter Symbol condition=None to work in the same fashion as None for Magic, Comments, Tickets. If None is selected, then no filter is applied, and UTS can control all symbols.
-added Minimum SL in pips = 0.0 in global settings. If you are a scalper who uses a tight SL and you notice that your broker is rejecting your SL or order because they have set a minimum stop distance, you can set min SL in pips = 2.0 (for example), in order to avoid your SL or order being rejected. Default is 0, which is inactive.
-added Close trade if SL not set = true/false in global settings. If you are a scalper who uses a tight SL and you notice that your broker is rejecting some of your Stops because they have set a minimum stop distance, and you don't want to go to bed without a SL, you can indicate Close trade if SL is not set=true, and any trade that is entered without a SL will be automatically closed. Default is false, which is inactive.
Version 2.41
2021.05.21
Major Update
Changes to Inputs/Functions:
- added dropdown: Choose Pips or ATR for Threshold,Step,SL Adj,TP,SL,BE,BE Adj
- any fields related to Threshold,Step,SL Adj,TP,SL,BE,BE Adj can be input with either Pips or ATR multiplier, depending on what is chosen
- added Threshold in ratio = true/false // if true, Threshold can be calculated as a ratio of SL
- Threshold itself is now called Threshold in pips or atr or ratio=0.0;// if Threshold in ratio=true, and threshold=2, then threshold is 2 times SL.
Changes to Panel:
- if Choose Pips or ATR=ATR, then you will see a new info item called Calctype=ATR(Current,25), and a new column called AtrCalcPips, which displays the calculated ATR in pips.
- if Threshold in ratio= true and a ratio number (ex.2) is indicated in Threshold field, an info item will appear called Threshold Ratio=2
- added column called EntryPrc (EntryPrice), CurrPrice (CurrentPrice), and Thresh (Threshold) so you can better see the price you entered at, the current price, and price of your threshold level, if any.

- added 2 modes of partial take profit:
MODE Pips: Pips based partial 3 levels deep
MODE Percent: Percent of existing take profit 3 levels deep

- added option to make existing TP into partial TP1.

I have just purchased both the Ultimate Trailing Stop EA (UTS) and the Visual Order Tracker EA (VOT) and can honestly say they are a fantastic addition to my trading 'toolkit!' The two EA's complement each other perfectly in that one manages open trades and offers multiple automatic exit solutions and the other displays the order history on the chart. They have also helped 'unshackle' me from the screens, taken the psychology out of my trading decisions and ultimately made me a far more profitable trader, so thanks Blake! Both are great products that I would definitely recommend to anyone that wants to automate trailing stops from their trading plan and fine tune their craft as a trader via visualising where historical trades have opened and closed.
