Step 3: Understand the Logic [5 Min]
How it works
Runs once per candle.
If profit reaches the set threshold (default: +1% of account), stop-loss is automatically moved to the entry price.
From there, the trade either continues to target or closes at break-even.
Use case
Great for swing traders who want to remove downside risk once a trade is in profit.
Keeps capital safe while still giving the position room to run.
⚠️ Tip: You can combine this with other filters or indicators, but by default it works best as a clean, protective layer on any strategy.
Step 4: Make It Your Own [10 Min]
Experiment with these adjustments to match your style:
Change the profit threshold (e.g. move to breakeven at +0.5% or wait for +2%).
Add filters (like session hours) to only trail stops in active markets.
Combine with trailing stop templates for layered protection.
EXPORT after each change and compare results.
Now it's your turn—apply the template, tweak the logic, and make it yours. 🚀
