Equity Stop Plugin with Cooldown for cTrader

When I was experimenting with my trading journey, I found that the cTrader plugin for Equity Stop was a bit clunky and need more customization. This enhanced version offers additional features for better trade management. I have designed it specifically for the use of martingale trading, hence the "+" and "-" buttons for doubling and halving the lot size and the "Stop Loss" and "Take Profit" fields. The UI has been optimized by grouping related components together, resulting in a more efficient use of space.

Enhanced Features

  • The plugin behind is Acronew's, the plugin in front is my own built on top of his.
  • It's been a pain to switch lot sizes with cTrader, so I tweaked the plugin to make it easier to do so.
  • When stops are hit, the plugin will automatically cooldown depending on the timer set. This will suspend the user from overtrading and give them a chance to relax their emotions before making yet another trade.
  • Furthermore, each trade executed via this plugin will automatically have stop loss/take profit assigned in accordance with the user's predefined settings.
