Universal Trailing Stop Strategy

This strategy replicates the core idea of the original MQL4 script cm_universal_trailing_stop.mq4. It does not generate entry signals; instead it manages an existing position by moving the stop-loss in the direction of profit.

The algorithm keeps an offset from the current price and shifts the stop every time the market moves by a configurable step. Once the minimum profit threshold is reached, the trailing stop becomes active and follows price automatically for both long and short positions.

Details

  • Entry Criteria: none. Position should be opened manually or by another strategy.
  • Long/Short: both.
  • Exit Criteria: stop order hit when price reverses by the configured offset.
  • Stops: trailing stop based on points.
  • Parameters:
    • Delta – distance from price to stop in points.
    • Step – minimum price movement in points to shift the stop.
    • StartProfit – profit in points required to activate trailing.
    • CandleType – timeframe used for trailing calculations.
  • Filters:
    • Category: Risk management
    • Direction: Both
    • Indicators: None
    • Stops: Trailing
    • Complexity: Simple
    • Timeframe: Any
    • Seasonality: No
    • Neural networks: No
    • Divergence: No
    • Risk level: Medium
