Step 3: Understand the Logic [5 Min]

How it works

  • Runs once per candle.

  • At +1% profit → closes a portion of the trade (e.g. 50%).

  • At +2% profit → closes another portion (e.g. 25%).

  • Leaves the remainder open until target or stop-loss is hit.

Use case

  • Useful in volatile markets where you want to secure profits early while leaving some position to capture bigger moves.

  • Helps smooth the equity curve and reduce drawdowns.

⚠️ Tip: Percentages and amounts are fully adjustable. Test different setups in MetaTrader 5 to see what fits your risk style.

Step 4: Make It Your Own [10 Min]

Experiment with these adjustments to match your style:

  • Adjust how much to close at each profit level (e.g. 30% at +1%, 30% at +2%).

  • Add more tiers (3%, 5%, etc.) to scale out slowly.

  • Combine with trailing stops to let the last portion run longer.

EXPORT after each change and compare results.

Now it's your turn—apply the template, tweak the logic, and make it yours. 🚀
