You can use it as a recovery plan; if you trade long term (buy and hold)... or to win a demo contest

about the parameters:

-"sl" indicates how many POINTS (not pips) to blow the account.
-when you reach the "target" (in DOLLARS) it closes all positions.
-all positions are OPENED and CLOSED below "maxspread"
-the EA will open "lotss" as the equity grows
-the EA will stop adding positions when the total amount of lots reaches "maxlots"
-if "buy" is true it will open buy orders and vice versa
-very important: if "first" is true it will open a position when there are no positions, set it to false after opening the first !!

Not much to say! it adds positions as the equity grows. for instance if "sl" is set to 3000 and your account is $100 it will open 0.03 lots; that means you're willing to risk 0.3% each pip. therefore if the account grows to $140 it will open another 0.01 (if "lotss" is set to 0.01). when the target is reached it closes all positions.

here's how it looks like :

Another thing: when you close the first position (manually or with a SL/TP), it will close all the open positions ...

May i suggest adding break even, and break even step, it will avoid loss in retracement or
Trend switch.

Retracement: we win extra pips from break even step eg 20 pips to be and set 10 pips to lock in profit, and if trend continues the ea will resume adding lots so we still win big and avoid potential reversal

Reversal: our equty can handle more when trend goes against us since most order are closed from BE

Question: this ea works with pending order to trigger its first position?

Theres ea similar to this but placed order according to x pips move named forexrm i've been wanting to add BE on it too

Now I see in your graph. EA opened a lot of positions at the same time, it's a little dangerous. You can add limit for this EA to open only one positions at the same time?

I don't understand what you mean !?

this is a pyramiding ea that opens positions as the equity grows. in my case I waited for a nice breakout on gold and used 1:80 leverage or something like that... of course... it's dangerous.. that's why my account was $100.
