Automatic Stop Loss, Take Profit, Profit Lock, and Trailing Stops in MT5

Summary

This document describes an MT5 conversion of an earlier MT4 utility for managing trade exits. The expert advisor can apply stop loss and take profit levels, lock in profits, and trail stops using methods whose details are not explained. It also supports hiding stop loss and take profit levels, which means the document distinguishes between exit settings visible to the platform and hidden ones.

The update notes mention fixes for Strategy Tester operation and code translation changes. No source details, setup instructions, evidence from testing, or explanation of the special trailing methods are included. The document describes a trade-management tool rather than a signal-generating strategy, so it does not specify when to enter positions or demonstrate that its exit features improve results. Its usefulness is limited to identifying the available order-management functions.

Key ideas

• The MT5 utility manages stop loss and take profit levels automatically.
• It includes profit locking and trailing-stop functions, though their methods are not detailed.
• Stop loss and take profit levels can be hidden.
• The update notes cite Strategy Tester fixes and translation changes.
• The document describes exit management, not trade-entry signals or performance results.
