BREAKEVEN AT

A fraction of the distance from Entry → Take-Profit (TP). If Breakeven At = 0.5, once the end-of-day close reaches 50% of the way to TP, the stop-loss is moved to the entry price. Fires once — after that, only the trailing stop can move it further.

LONG: triggers when close ≥ entry + 0.5 × (TP − entry)

SHORT: triggers when close ≤ entry − 0.5 × (entry − TP)

TRAILING

Locks in a fixed share of your best unrealised profit so far. If Trailing = 0.4, the stop sits 40% of the way from entry to the best close you've seen. Updates end-of-day, only ratchets tighter, never loosens. Only moves when the position is in profit — if price never clears entry, the trailing stop stays at the original Stop-Loss (SL).

LONG: dynamic SL = entry + 0.4 × (peak close − entry)

SHORT: dynamic SL = entry − 0.4 × (entry − trough close)

WHEN DOES PROTECTION ACTIVATE? *

Protection is calculated at end-of-day starting from Day 1.

• Day 1 intraday: original stop-loss only — checked bar-by-bar against 15-minute prices after your entry fills
• End of Day 1: breakeven and trailing evaluated for the first time; dynamic stop set for Day 2
• Day 2 onward: updated dynamic stop applies at the open; TP/SL checked against daily high/low

Both effects stack — the active stop is always the tightest of: original SL, breakeven, and trailing.

HORIZON (D)

Hard expiry. If neither TP nor SL is hit, the position is closed at the last available close on or before Day H. Per-tier horizons apply when configured. No extensions.

* Swing trading requires active monitoring and follow-up. Market conditions can change unexpectedly on subsequent days (e.g., news, gaps, volatility), so reassess risk and execution daily.
