The script is created for the possibility of setting pending orders of the typeStop Close Only. This type of order involves entering a long position if the price closes above the specified price level and opening a short position if the price closes below the price set by the trader. This type of order is especially often used to open trades when the price exits the horizontal channel.

In the script settingsStop Close Only provides the ability to place both directional and multidirectional orders, take profits and stop losses on them. The script provides for the possibility of trailing profit with a specified step after the price passes a specified number of points from the position opening point. You can control the entry levels, stop loss levels, and take profit levels by moving the corresponding lines on the price chart with the mouse.

The script has a money management block. By default, the risk is 2% of the equity amount of the trading account. This means that if the trader does not set the lot size in the settings, but assigns this task to the script, the script will automatically determine the lot size based on the free balance on the trading account and the distance of the stop loss from the entry point to the position so that the trader will not receive a loss from the transaction more than 2% of the trading account balance. The trader can set the expiration date and time of the script activation.
