Blues Protector EA - User Manual
(For MT5 - Ready-to-Use EX5 File)

3. Simple Settings Guide
Setting - What It Does - Recommended Value
- Magic Number - Unique ID for trades (keep at 0 unless you need manual control) - 0 (default)
- Profit Threshold ($) - How much profit (in your account currency) triggers protection - Example: 10.0 ($10 profit)
- Protection Level (%) - How much profit to lock in (e.g., 50 = 50% protection) - 30-70% (adjust based on volatility)
Pro Tip:
- Higher Protection (%) = More profit secured but may trigger early on small moves.
- Lower Protection (%) = Lets trades run longer but protects less.
Avoid "Invalid Stops" Errors: If you trade large volumes, set a higher Profit Threshold to ensure the stop adjustment is valid.
4. How It Works (Simple Explanation)
- For BUY Trades: Moves stop-loss up when profit hits your threshold, locking in gains.
- For SELL Trades: Moves stop-loss down when profit hits your threshold, securing profits.
- No Trade Opening: Only modifies existing trades (does not open new ones).
Example:
You buy EUR/USD at 1.1000, and it rises to 1.1050.
- If Profit Threshold = $20 and Protection Level = 50%, the EA moves your stop-loss to lock in 50% of the profit.
- If price keeps rising, it continues protecting profits at your set percentage.
5. Avoiding Errors (Key Tips)
- Use on Moderate Volumes – Large positions may trigger "invalid stop" errors if adjusted too early.
- Set a Realistic Profit Threshold – Start with at least 1.5x your spread to avoid premature adjustments.
- Works on All Symbols – Forex, stocks, crypto, etc. (but test first in a demo account).
