If the 'outstaying losses' function is enabled, the EA will not close unprofitable trades based on a reverse signal. Instead, it will open new trades. The stop loss for these unprofitable trades is then moved to their opening prices.
The maximum number of open trades during this 'outstaying' period is limited by the 'maximum deals' parameter.
