Trade Management
Overview
The Trade Management settings allow users to customize how trades are managed once entered — including take profit levels, stop losses, trailing stops, and advanced exit algorithms. These controls help users adapt risk management to their trading strategy and improve trade outcomes across different market conditions.
Take Profit Settings
Overview
Take Profit (TP) defines the level at which a position is automatically closed to secure profit. You can choose between different calculation methods and specify the number of TP levels to scale out of positions.
Settings
Take Profit Method
Determines how the TP level is calculated:
Percent (%) – Based on a fixed % move from entry
ATR – Uses Average True Range as multiplier
Signal – Exits based on opposite signals
Disable – No TP set
Take Profit Value
The size of the TP, based on the selected method.
# of Take Profit Levels
Number of TP levels to set (1–3). Each level locks in a portion of the position progressively.
Stop Loss Settings
Overview
Stop Loss (SL) protects your capital by closing trades when losses reach a specified threshold.
Settings
Stop Loss Method
Determines how the SL level is calculated:
Percent (%) – Uses a fixed % distance from entry
ATR – Based on volatility
Signal – Closes trade on opposite signal
Disable – No SL applied
Stop Loss Value
The SL distance/multiplier based on selected method.
Trailing Stop Settings
Overview
Trailing Stop dynamically adjusts the SL level in the direction of the trade, helping secure profits while allowing positions to remain open during favorable movements.
Settings
Trailing Stop Method
Determines how the trail is calculated:
Percent (%) – Fixed trailing distance
ATR – Dynamic trail based on market volatility
Signal – Uses opposing signals
Disable – Trailing Stop is off
Trailing Stop Value
Distance or multiplier used by the trailing stop logic.
Advanced Trade Exit Algorithms
Overview
Advanced Exit Algorithms are intelligent, prebuilt exit logics designed to identify optimal trade exit conditions based on statistical, trend, reversal, or momentum-based models. These algorithms provide dynamic trade management beyond basic TP/SL methods.
Settings
Advanced Exit Algorithms
Statistical Threshold Exit
Uses statistical deviations (e.g., Z-score thresholds) to detect favorable exits.
Trend Optimized Exit
Monitors trend strength and continuity to exit during weakening momentum.
Dynamic Reversal Exit
Detects early signs of market reversal to close before major shifts.
Hybrid Adaptive Exit
Combines multiple methods for a balanced and adaptive exit strategy.
Momentum Predictive Exit
Forecasts shifts in momentum to exit positions early or capture peak movement.
Disable
Disables advanced exit logic.
Sensitivity & Threshold Inputs
Advanced Exit Threshold
Controls how extreme a condition must be before the algorithm exits a trade.
Advanced Exit Sensitivity
Adjusts how responsive the algorithm is to changing market data.
These two inputs are adaptive across all algorithms and act as global tuning variables.

Best Practices & Usage
For High Volatility Markets: ATR-based TP/SL and trailing stops adjust dynamically to price movement, offering better protection.
For Consistent Trending Markets: Trend Optimized Exit or Momentum Predictive Exit algorithms are effective in securing extended gains.
To Lock in Gains Early: Use multiple TP levels to scale out of positions as price hits predefined checkpoints.
For Adaptive Strategies: Combine Advanced Exit Algorithms with basic SL/TP for hybrid trade management.
Example Configurations
Stop Loss: ATR with value 1.5
Take Profit: Percent with value 2.0
Trailing Stop: Disabled
Advanced Exit: Statistical Threshold Exit
