Percentofbalance
— closes all opened orders if account profit reaches the x percent of balance.
ProfitAmount
— closes all opened orders if account profit reaches the specified amount, for example, 12 euros. It closes all opened orders, not only profitable.
Orderprofit
— closes order on actual pair if order profit reaches the specified amount, for example, 4 euros.
Stealth mode
— if true, EA only calculates the Stop Loss, Break Even, Trailing Stop and Take Profit values, controls these values, and if price reaches the SL or TP, closes the order. EA in this mode doesn't not send these values to the broker.
I need somebody to test this EA in DEMO, because I don't have enough time for it.
I need to test Stealth mode first.
