If the price does not reach "tail_margin" profit pips after breaking out, the stop loss will be whatever the price is for breakout in the opposite direction.

I have to say the results are very disappointing for M30 with trail_margin = 20 and trail_every = 5.

Might have to play around with the parameters to find combinations that work better.
Hi, thanks for your work on this. Just a few points:

1.) I opened multi lots / trades as this performed better in the long run on backtests. Drawdown was less.
2.) The Money Mangement is VERY important to the success of this.

I do not believe that it is possible to Predict the future prices with any accuracy so therefore the system is more there to make the most of earning from random fluctuations.

I like the idea of a trailing stop. Do you think this is better than a fixed stop?
