An effective stop-loss strategy? (An effective stoploss strategy?) - MT4/MT5 Resources
I'm exploring stop loss strategies for an EA in development and was wondering if anyone has come across a really good strategy.
I found additional strategies on another forum, and even though I've been programming for a living for over 40 years, I haven't been able to simplify it to make it run faster (it's really slow because of the way it's coded and makes backtesting unfeasible). However, it does create a very good stop loss.
Maybe this article belongs in the MT4 forum - if so, please forgive me, Mr. Moderator, but I would also like to hear about some stop loss methods that work but may not be coded for MT4.
Thanks for all the help...

An effective stop-loss strategy? (An effective stoploss strategy?) Usage and screening suggestions
An effective stop-loss strategy? (An effective stoploss strategy?) belongs to MT4 EA related resources. Before downloading or referencing, it is recommended to confirm the platform version, transaction type, time period, whether DLL is required, whether source code is included, parameter description and historical update records.
Both automated trading tools and foreign exchange indicators should first undergo backtesting, simulated account observation, and small capital verification. Pay special attention to spreads, slippages, maximum drawdowns, position opening frequency, stop loss methods, trading periods and broker rules, and avoid direct real-time execution based only on titles or short-term profit descriptions.
