TrailingStairs
Download script
This script is designed to automate the management of open trades by implementing a dynamic "staircase" trailing stop logic. Instead of simply moving a stop-loss at a fixed interval, this tool calculates specific price milestones to progressively secure profits as the market moves in your favor.
Core Functionality
The primary purpose of the script is to automatically adjust the Stop Loss (SL) of a specific trade (identified by its ticket number). It ensures that as the market price progresses, your "safety net" follows behind it in a structured, incremental fashion.
How the Logic Works
The script operates based on three main user-defined parameters:
- Target Distance: The minimum distance from the current price required before the trailing logic activates.
- Step Size: The specific increment by which the Stop Loss is moved forward.
- Trade Identifier: The specific position the script should monitor.
Operational Behavior
The logic adapts differently depending on whether you are in a "Buy" or "Sell" position:
For Buy Positions (Long):
- Initial Activation: If there is no Stop Loss set, or if the current Stop Loss is below your entry price, the script calculates the first "staircase" level based on your entry price plus the defined distance.
- Dynamic Movement: As the market price climbs, the script monitors for milestones. When the price hits a calculated threshold, it moves the Stop Loss forward by the "Step Size."
- Safety Check: It ensures that the new Stop Loss is never placed too close to the current market price (respecting the broker's minimum requirements), preventing execution errors.
For Sell Positions (Short):
- Initial Activation: Similarly, if no Stop Loss exists or it is above the entry price, the script establishes a baseline level relative to your entry price minus the defined distance and market spread.
- Dynamic Movement: As the market price drops, the script identifies when the price has moved sufficiently to "step" the Stop Loss further down into profit.
- Spread Awareness: The logic accounts for the market spread to ensure that stop-loss adjustments remain valid and executable in real-time trading conditions.
Summary of Benefits
By using a "staircase" approach rather than a standard continuous trailing stop, this script provides a more controlled way to lock in gains. It prevents the Stop Loss from moving too aggressively on minor price fluctuations while ensuring that significant market movements result in updated, secured profit levels automatically.
