Thanks for your prompt reply...

Can you provide me an Estimate how long is the wait (for dynamic protections) going to be? So I can plan my next course of appropriate actions to take.

3mths, 6mths or 1 yr?

I tried adding this once before and for some reason someone in authority deleted it.  I have no idea how good or useful this is or how useful it might prove to be for this discussion, but this  - cm_universal_trailing_stop.mq4 -  is from the MT4 MQL5 "Code Base".

I've also downloaded this "virtual_trailing_stop.mq4" when it was free.  Apparently it no longer is

I could supply it but don't know how.  Here is how it begins

Can you upload the file here. 

When you click "reply" and below this message box you will see "Attachments - Choose File" go to the folder where you saved this file and press Add file once you have located the file/folder.

Hi jop,

Can you upload the file and not the picture?

Another way you can email me the attached file and I'll do it for you.

Thanks

Found this webpage with a list of 8 Trailing Stop varieties to choose from (all these in the zip attached)

There are altogether 8 different varieties of trailing stop mentioned here with the attached files.
http://forex-strategies-revealed.com/mt … g-stop-eas

There are 6 files with errors/warnings (can someone who programming skills kindly look into these and be helpful enough to rectify the errors/warnings if these EA/scripts are worth giving a shot:

1. Trailing Stop (0 error, 10 warnings)
2. Tight TrailingStop (0 error, 7 warnings)
3. TrailingWithPartialClose (0 error, 16 warnings)
4. EMATrailingStop (58 errors, 6 warnings)
5. Break Even Trailing (0 error, 6 warnings)
6. e-trailing (58 errors, 6 warnings) 
7. Trade protect
8. Swiss Army

Despite the errors, I'm able to install these EA but please test it out carefully. 

As for the E-trailing and it works fine in my account.  Trade Safe.

Jgp,

Ideally, I wish to have a "comprehensive" script/EA to work with all the trailing, partial close, BE, ATR etc...to handle all the opened positions/trades.

Of cos, the best is to have these features embedded into our EA like the profit protection features for the future updates...but meanwhile, I would like to search for a script/EA as an alternative solution so that I'm not so "affected" by the delay and have a working solution to rely on instead of passively waiting for the long waited for update.

Thanks Footon for your head start tip for searching...

Here is the attached file, I hope this is the one you mentioned.

If you want the Trailing stop to be applied to all your open trades, choose filter by magic no. "false", am I right?

This is an extended version from the original one with some errors fixed.  Please test it out carefully and as Popov always say "Trade Safe".

Download the files and attached it in the "Experts" folder file in your MT4

Hi Footon,

I've trouble register for the website...if you have a copy, can you upload it here?

As for the attached Modified Simple Order Manager (the attached file, please refer to the previous post above)

It has the following features:

1. You can apply the features to an EA or all open positions (filter by magic number True/false)
2. ATR trailing stop (you need to attached the ATR trailing file unto MT4 indicator folder and installed it onto the MT4 time chart, this ATR does not executed the trailing by itself.  You need to use it with the modified Simple Order Manager, in the previous attached  post)
3. Set missing TP/SL
4. Use ATR for mising TP/SL
5. BE with target profit
6. Jumping SL
7. Candlestick Trailing S.
8. Standard Trailing S (after BE True/False) whereby you set the trailing stop to start after BE reached.
9. Instant Trailing S. (stop after BE True/False)
10. Move SL by Market Technical (choose the time frame to apple ATR SL).

It's ok Footon...it's very kind of you to drop me the info to direct my search, that's already very helpful.

The attached modified Simple Order Manager is based on functions © by Steve Hopwood et. al. (see Stevehopwoodforex.com)

Yes I'll be testing it on all my terminals with all new accounts to track n compare, before and after results.

Of cos Ideally, the FSB future update with the PROFIT features will enable us to see the results immediately and thus modify the input to maximise the profit.   

So meanwhile this is a good alternative to try it out on all EA simply by changing the attached EA parameters instead of changing every EA one by one.  So much more time efficient, especially at this trial stage whereby there are bound to have lots of different settings trials n I don't have to change all EA, but just change this trailing stop EA.  What a relief.   Wish FSB has its own such script/trailing EA that can be applied to all open n future positions.

I realised that sometimes when I get fixated to a mind set or solution such as desperately waiting for the PP  features,  I failed to think and explore other alternatives.   Jgp's suggestion sudden turned on a light bulb, it's like how come I forgot all about this option,  blind me. I wonder how come no one suggested that all these while till JGP "kindly stepped in" to break the "silence" while others just sit by....(thanks once again, JGP & Footon!)

Guess that's the benefit of this forum, we watch each others back and highlight others blind side.  There is power in synergy indeed.
