a.tm. it’s basically the same as posted by AlexF minus/plus what I mentioned.
however I used an slightly updated breakeven stop, with the option to choose points or percentage. The way I ‘ve it, with stoploss of 0.4%, if atr distance is 1 or greater, the stoploss moves to -0.2%

Interesting system. Running AlexF version on backtest (no breakeven) with a percentage stop loss of 0.25 significantly improves the performance, all be it on the very limited data period available.

here’s some code for a fast timeframe.
For i.e. 5 seconds tf I use 0.5% stoploss, but prefer a faster exit for a loss. A faster exit results likely in a lower winchance though. But live creates often more max losses then a short backtest.
First code is a familiar one, created 2 variations.

AlexF orginal or do you have another 5s itf?

Thanks GraHal. Tested the plugin codes on alex version and results go down, regardless I’ve been using the plugins a.t.m. On the first code I used graphonprice sub which should be sup.
@franro, at the moment none of the codes here are good enough for me. Alex version doesn’t have a hardcoded stoploss. Very difficult timeframe!1 user thanked author for this post.
using atr trailingstop, but now includes a option to take profit near, at or above biglines
biglines can be defined with factor i.e. 50 every 50 points, 100 = every 100 points.
distance to take profit can be set. So if taken profit at every 100 lines (if trailingstop is active), it’s possible to take it say 15 points earlier profit.
Not really happy a.t.m. how things are rounded up/down and affect startlevel. Setup for 5s timeframe.

@Paul If you wanna use a fast tf system, I strongly suggest to DO NOT use a fixed stoploss. It will be hit too much often and you will end compounding small losses and not getting good wins.
I suggest to code an hard exit stop loss, i.e. a signal that invalidate your entry, not necessarily the opposite of your signal, even something different like macd crossing 0.
This is what I use on my few intraday systems and it’s working.
