Advanced Trade Manager Upgrade

Yesterday, just into the LO session, I caught a nice long on DAX that ran to about 10R in only five bars, then reversed all the way back to break‑even in four. Those were some huge M1 bars, and the ATM T‑C (trail‑candle) stop would have been far too wide to protect the bulk of the move. If only I could have hit a tight‑lock button on ATM to keep the 9–10R…

That gap has now been filled with a new button called T‑5pts. When price hits a strong PRZ, you can press a single button to lock in profits with the tightest of stops. Like the other SL‑management buttons, it also works with @level, so you can set your management rules long before price gets anywhere near your target. As long as T‑5pts stays active, ATM will maintain a very tight trail — particularly useful for news trades.

I haven’t added this to the MT5 version yet, but for MT4 users, ATM v3.1 is now available for download. I’m also considering an R‑trail button where, for example, ATM could trail your stop in 1R increments once price reaches 5R. If that’s something you’d find valuable, or if you have other ideas to improve ATM, let me know.
