Detailed Explanation of Trailing Stop Parameters
Understanding the trailing stop parameters is crucial for optimizing the EA to fit your trading strategy. Below are detailed explanations of each trailing stop mode and its corresponding parameters.
1. Risk-Reward Ratio (RR Ratio)
Definition: Adjusts your stop loss based on your predefined risk-reward ratio. For example, a value of 0.2 signifies that the trailing stop will activate when your trade reaches 20% of the RR ratio.
Parameters:
- TrailingStop: Set the trailing stop value as a percentage of your RR ratio (default is 0.2 or 20%).
How It Works:
- Risk Calculation (R): The EA calculates your initial risk (R) as the difference between your entry price and the initial stop loss.
- Trailing Mechanism: When your trade's profit reaches a certain milestone based on the TrailingStop percentage, the EA adjusts your stop loss to secure profits.
Example:
- TrailingStop = 0.2 (20%)
- Risk (R) = 100 pips
- Profit Target: When the trade reaches 1.2R (120 pips profit), the EA moves the stop loss to 1R (100 pips), securing a 20-pip profit.
2. Break Even
Definition: Moves your stop loss to break even when your trade reaches a specific profit level, minimizing potential losses.
Parameters:
- BreakEvenTrigger: Number of pips to trigger the break-even adjustment.
- BreakEvenOffset: Number of pips to offset the stop loss from the break-even point.
How It Works:
- Once your trade reaches the BreakEvenTrigger in pips, the EA moves your stop loss to break even plus the BreakEvenOffset, ensuring your initial risk is protected.
3. ATR (Average True Range)
Definition: Utilizes the ATR indicator to determine the trailing stop distance, adapting to market volatility.
Parameters:
- ATR_Period: The period for calculating ATR (default is 14).
- ATR_Multiplier: Multiplier for the ATR value to set the trailing stop distance (default is 1.5).
How It Works:
- The EA calculates the ATR value and sets the trailing stop distance as ATR multiplied by the ATR_Multiplier, allowing the stop to adjust based on market volatility.
4. Fixed Step
Definition: Adjusts your stop loss by a fixed number of pips as the trade moves in your favor.
Parameters:
- TrailingStep: The number of pips to move the stop loss each time the trailing condition is met (default is 50 pips).
How It Works:
- For each step the trade moves in your favor, the EA moves the stop loss by the specified TrailingStep, ensuring a systematic adjustment.
5. Swing High/Low
Definition: Uses recent swing highs or lows to set trailing stops, capturing significant market movements.
Parameters:
- SwingBars: Number of bars to consider for determining swing high/low (default is 20).
- SwingTrailingOffsetPips: Number of pips to offset the trailing stop from the swing high/low (default is 10 pips).
How It Works:
- The EA identifies the highest high or lowest low within the last SwingBars and sets the trailing stop at the swing high/low plus the SwingTrailingOffsetPips, ensuring stops are placed at key market levels.
