Area 51 EA generates signals on different strategies. Has different money management strategies and dynamic lot size function.
When a position is opened, it is equipped with a take profit and a stop loss. If the position becomes profitable, a dynamic stop loss based on the
specified values (TrailingStep and DistanceStep) will be set for it and constantly trailed. This allows you to always close positions in
profit.
