Changes Log - TheProfitRetriever

30 August, 2024

Pruning approach changed: the first and last trades are closed partially in order to achieve around zero amount P&L outcome as much as possible.
Adjusted trade management for some MT5 brokers like Pepperstone in Australia.
Allow temporary delay of trading upon excess fill by the broker.
General platform and security updates, with no impact to trading logic.
Updated the default EA input parameter values.

Added pair of trades based pruning feature: closing off a pair of trades with a small profit or loss, or closing off the first and the last time entered trades.
Added gap pruning feature: closing the last time entered trade when the corresponding last gap size has been scaled beyond a configured threshold.
Added a Trading Plan section to the EA dashboard: shows the planned lots and gap size details for the upcoming initial and topup trades.
Added feature to be able to skip the first configured number of topup trades.

Added Topup Trade Direction to either stick with initial trade's direction or go with the current MA direction when topup trade gets entered.

The max spread limit checking was extended to the closeout of the initial trade, when the run has this initial trade only and no subsequent topup trades. This is to avoid the closure of this initial trade when the spread widens beyond the gap size (e.g. around weekend periods) which may result in closing the trade with losses.

Added feature to be able to disable reentry and trading after run closure.
Revised descriptions in the 'Stage' line of the EA Info section in the EA dashboard.
Fixed lots scaling overrun when the next phase lots limit is exatcly the same as the previous phase lots limit.
Added 'install for all Terminals at once' feature to the EA setup application.

Added feature to allow buy only or sell only trade entry direction.
Added feature to automatically close out all trades in line with FIFO when the broker account requires that.
Added new colour schemes to the EA dashboard to support users with colour blindness type of visual impairment.

Added feature to stop EA trading after clicking on the Close Run button: a message window must be dismissed to allow trading again.
Added to allow for trend direction change at failed initial trade entry: caters for long only or short only external terminal settings.
Improved sequence of trade entries during price gaps and retracements.
Changed the Closure Level approach to use the most recent trade, not the trade with the highest lots, for the profit amount calculations.
Removed dynamic topup entry direction option.
Added extra checks to ensure that trades got closed off as part of closeout on the MT5 platform.
Added installer feature to automatically recognise the MT4/MT5 location when the installer is copied and started off from the Data Folder of the MT4/MT5 terminal.
Fixed: turned off approximate exit line presentation in chart during optimizations for better performance.

Added feature to allow for negative Closure Amount.
Added protection against broker price feed when value of point goes missing.
Fixed error message presentation in the EA dashboard when the broker overwrites the ticket comments after a margin call.
