The problem with Trailing Stop - in choppy markets a small trailing stop can be easily hit. Big TS is as good as SL.

My ideal EA would be able to differentiate between flat, choppy, ranging and trending markets !!!

>>EA should be cautious with opening next trade<< easily said but not so easy to implement, may be Damiani can help?
