Drag SL/TP Manager Strategy

This strategy automatically places stop-loss and take-profit orders at a fixed distance from the executed trade price. It is useful when manual positions should be protected immediately after entry.

Parameters

  • Auto Set SL (bool): enable automatic stop-loss placement.
  • SL Points (decimal): stop-loss distance in price steps.
  • Auto Set TP (bool): enable automatic take-profit placement.
  • TP Points (decimal): take-profit distance in price steps.

Behavior

When the strategy starts it calls StartProtection with the selected distances. Any position opened while the strategy is running will immediately receive the corresponding protective orders. The distances are measured in price steps (Security.PriceStep).

The strategy itself does not generate trade signals; it simply manages protective orders for positions opened manually or by other strategies.

Notes

  • Designed for high-level API usage.
  • Only the finished candle state should trigger trading actions in extended versions.
  • No graphical dragging feature from the original MQL script is implemented.
