| Lot % | % of the present remaining lot. Every degree is predicated on what stays after the earlier shut. Lot = 1.0, TP1 = 50% → 0.50 (0.50 left), TP2 = 50% → 0.25 (0.25 left). |

13. Dynamic Ranges
Dynamic Ranges change how In Elements ranges behave: ranges observe the worth when it strikes away, and keep in place when worth strikes towards them — a ratcheting impact much like a trailing cease for partial closes.
- Dynamic TP / Dynamic SL — allow in Settings → In Elements.
- Begin degree — delays activation till revenue reaches this many factors. Set to 0 for fast activation.
Instance
Shut 50% when worth reaches half of TP, with dynamic observe:
- Lot Mode: “Lot % in” or “Lot %”. Worth Mode: “Auto”.

Mode 1: Factors
The best trailing methodology.
- Distance — SL trails this many factors behind the market worth.
- Step — minimal worth motion earlier than SL is up to date (0 = each tick).
Algorithm: Anticipate revenue ≥ Begin → set SL at worth ± Distance → solely replace when worth strikes ≥ Step. SL solely strikes within the worthwhile route.
Mode 2: Fractals
Trails based mostly on the Fractals indicator. Purchase makes use of Decrease Fractal (assist), Promote makes use of Higher Fractal (resistance).
- Timeframe — chart interval for fractal calculation.
- Scan Bars — bars to scan for final fractal (min: 4).
- Indent — additional buffer in factors from the fractal degree.
Mode 3: Shifting Common
Trails based mostly on the MA indicator.
- Timeframe — chart interval. Interval — MA interval (e.g., 20).
- Methodology — SMA, EMA, SMMA, or LWMA.

Mode 4: Parabolic SAR
Trails based mostly on the Parabolic SAR. Accelerates because the pattern matures.
- Timeframe — chart interval.
- Step (AF) — acceleration issue (default: 0.02). Most — max AF (default: 0.2).
- Indent — additional buffer in factors.
Mode 5: ATR (Common True Vary)
Volatility-adaptive trailing. In unstable markets the path is wider; in calm markets it is tighter.
- Timeframe — chart interval. Interval — ATR interval (default: 14).
- Coefficient — multiplier (default: 1.5). Increased = wider path.
- Worth Excessive/Low — when enabled, makes use of bar Excessive/Low as a substitute of Bid. Purchase makes use of Low, Promote makes use of Excessive.
- Indent — additional buffer.
System: SL = Worth ± (ATR × Coefficient)
Mode 6: Excessive/Low Bar
Traditional price-action trailing utilizing current bar extremes.
- Timeframe — chart interval. Bars — variety of bars to scan.
- Purchase: SL at lowest Low of final N bars. Promote: SL at highest Excessive.
- Indent — additional buffer.
Mode 7: Partial Shut
Ties trailing to shut ranges. When TP1 closes, SL strikes to entry (breakeven). When TP2 closes, SL strikes to TP1. And so forth — SL all the time strikes to the earlier degree.
15. Breakeven Operate
Routinely strikes Cease Loss to breakeven as soon as a revenue threshold is reached.
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| Break Even (Stage) | Revenue in factors required to set off. 200 = prompts at 200 factors revenue. |
| Offset | Factors above entry for SL placement. 10 = lock in 10 factors revenue. |
Algorithm
- Monitor every place on each tick.
- When revenue ≥ Break Even degree → set SL to Entry ± Offset.
- Executes as soon as per place.
Activation Strategies
- International: Settings → Break Even sub-tab. Applies to all positions.

| TOL Restrict Enabled | Path Restrict orders (Purchase/Promote Restrict). |
| TOL Cease Enabled | Path Cease orders (Purchase/Promote Cease). |
| Restrict/Cease Distance | Distance in factors to take care of from market worth. |
Algorithm: If the space between the market worth and the pending order exceeds the set worth, the order is moved nearer. The order solely strikes available in the market route — it does not observe when the space decreases.
Instance
Path a Purchase Restrict 200 factors beneath market: Place Purchase Restrict 200 factors beneath Ask, allow TOL Restrict with Distance = 200. As worth rises, the order trails up. If worth drops, the order stays.
May be toggled per-order through the .

Instance: Breakout Technique
Place Purchase Cease at 1.1050 and Promote Cease at 1.0950 with OCO enabled. Worth breaks above 1.1050 → Purchase Cease fills → Promote Cease is mechanically deleted.
