Episode 7 [Advanced]: 5 Secret Features Professionals Use Quietly
⚡ 5 Features Used Secretly by 50% Monthly Earners
“I’ve mastered ELDRA’s basic features. But I want to go further…”
Great news for you. ELDRA hidesAdvanced features known only to pro traders.
The 5 features we introduce this time are used by traders who exceed 50% monthly return,89% of them actively use. Read this article and you’ll join the ranks of top traders.
? Feature 1: Trailing Stop Break Even
The ultimate risk management that auto-tracks from the average entry price
What makes this feature amazing is thatstops auto-track based on the average entry price across multiple positions.
Normally trailing stops move per position, but ELDRA takesall positions opened via averaging down as one giant position and calculates from the average price.
? How does it move?
Trailing stop operation:
- When profit reaches 50 pips from the average entry price, move stop to average price + 30 pips
- If profit reaches another 100 pips, move stop to average price + 50 pips
- As price rises, the stop automatically trails
Break-even operation:
- The moment there is 50 pips profit from the average entry price, move stop to average price + 5 pips (± safety margin)
- Ensures “no loss” at minimum
? Example: Trailing activated with 3 averaging-down positions
Situation:
• 1st: long at 150.00
• 2nd: averaging down at 149.50
• 3rd: averaging down at 149.00
•Average price: 149.50
Trailing activated:
• Price hits 150.00 (+50 pips)
• Stop automatically set to 149.80 (average price +30 pips)
• If price rises to 150.50, stop trails to 150.00
Result:
• Price retraces to 149.95 and all positions are closed
• Where loss would have been -5,500 yen, ended with a +4,500 yen profit
This feature fully automates“let profits run, minimize losses”.
? Pro recommended settings
- Trailing stop trigger: 500 points (50 pips)
- Trailing stop offset: 300 points (30 pips)
- Break-even trigger: 500 points (50 pips)
- Break-even offset: 50 points (5 pips)
⚠️ Notes for use
- In range-bound markets, positions may be closed frequently
- Shines in trending markets
- Best when combined with averaging down
?️ Feature 2: Individual Averaging Width Specification
Control spacing freely according to number of positions
Normally averaging down uses a fixed interval like 200 points, but with this featureyou can set different gaps per position.
Why is this important? Market moves are not uniform.Start narrow, end wide to minimize risk while maximizing profit opportunities.
? How to set it?
Example settings:
Parameter input:
Nanpin width individually specified = "100,200,300,500"
Result:
- 1st entry → 2nd: 100 points (10 pips)
- 2nd → 3rd: 200 points (20 pips)
- 3rd → 4th: 300 points (30 pips)
- 4th → 5th: 500 points (50 pips)
With this setting,initials are captured finely, chasing deeply is avoided.
? Example: Range market shows power of individual specification
Setting: Nanpin width individually specified = "150,200,300" (15 pips, 20 pips, 30 pips)
Entry condition:
• 1st: long at 150.00
• 2nd: add at 149.85 (-15 pips) ← capture finely
• 3rd: add at 149.65 (-20 pips) ← widen a bit
• 4th: add at 149.35 (-30 pips) ← widen further
Result:
• Price returns to 149.80 and all closed
• Fixed 200-point width allows only 2 lots with profit +3,000 yen
• With individual specification, holding 4 lots yieldsprofit +12,500 yen(about 4x!)
? Recommended settings by market type
Range market:
150,200,300,500← Start with fine steps
Trending market:
300,400,600,1000← Overall wider
Volatile market:
200,300,500,800← Balanced
⚠️ Points to note when setting
- Enter values separated by commas
- Enter max positions minus 1 (max 5 -> 4)
- Leaving blank uses fixed width (parameter_input_nanpin_width)
- In later stages, wider settings reduce deep chasing risk
? Feature 3: Nanpin Rescue Function
Final line of defense when averaging down explodes! Position recovery mode
“I’ve averaged down too much and the floating loss grew…”
In such times, this function willsave you. Nanpin Rescue automatically switches to a mode aiming to exit at breakeven (zero profit/loss).
? When does it activate?
Activation conditions:
Setting example:
- Nanpin Rescue Function: ON
- Rescue trigger: 5 positions (activate after 5 averaging-down positions)
- Rescue take-profit width: 10 points (1 pip = profit if price returns by 1 pip from breakeven)
Operation:
When the 5th averaging position is triggered, ELDRA shifts from profit mode to“survival mode”.
Rather than usual take-profit width (e.g., 100 points),price returns to Breakeven + 10 pointsand all positions are immediately closed.
? Example: Rescue function avoids worst-case
Situation:
• 1st: long at 150.00
• 2nd: averaging down at 149.70
• 3rd: averaging down at 149.40
• 4th: averaging down at 149.10
• 5th: averaging down at 148.80 ←Rescue mode activated!
•Average entry price: 149.40
Normal mode:
• Take-profit target: 149.90 (+50 pips)
• But price only returns to 149.50…
• Finally falls back to 150.50Loss -38,000 yen
When rescue mode activates:
• Take-profit target: 149.41 (breakeven + 1 pip)
• As soon as price returns to 149.50, all positions close
• Result:Exit successfully with only -1,000 yen loss
With this feature,“exit at breakeven no matter what”is automatically invoked. The ultimate defense against huge losses.
? Recommendations by risk tolerance
Conservative (safety prioritized):
- Rescue trigger:3 positions
- Rescue take-profit width:10 points (1 pip)
Standard:
- Rescue trigger:5 positions
- Rescue take-profit width:10 points (1 pip)
Aggressive (profit-focused):
- Rescue trigger:7 positions
- Rescue take-profit width:100 points (10 pips, aiming for any profit)
⚠️ Important points when using
- Activating rescue mode means you already have substantial floating loss
- Realistic rescue take-profit width is 10–50 points (100+ points may not return)
- Do not rely solely on this feature; a cap on maximum positions is important
- In trending markets, price may not return even after rescue activation
? Feature 4: Stop Level Auto-Adjustment
Automatically clears broker stop level constraints! Zero order rejections
“My limit orders aren’t going through…”
Had this happen?This is due to broker stop level constraints. This feature resolves it automatically.
? What is a Stop Level?
Brokers impose a constraint like you can’t place a limit order within a minimum distance from the current price. This is theStop Level.
Example: Stop Level = 20 points (2 pips)
- Current price: 150.00
- Price to place Buy Limit: 149.98 ←Error!
- Reason: not away by 2 pips (20 points) from current price
After auto-adjustment:
- ELDRA automatically adjusts 149.98 → 149.97
- Result:Order accepted!
This enables all pending grid trades and averaging-down orders topass reliably.
? 3 Adjustment Modes
Mode 0: Do not adjust (keep order)
- If error occurs, keep as is
- Retry at next check
- Use case: rarely used (not recommended)
Mode 1: Auto-adjust (adjust to valid range) ← Recommended
- If hit stop level constraintauto-adjust price
Mode 3: Do not adjust (cancel order)
? Example: All 10 grid orders passed!
Situation:
Attempted to place 10 Buy Limit orders between 149.00 and 150.00 in grid trade
Mode 0 (no adjustment):
• 7 of 10 orders failed due to stop level errors
• Result: only 3 placed, grid function half-broken
Mode 1 (auto-adjust):
• ELDRA automatically nudges 7 orders by 1–2 pips and repositions
• Result: all 10 succeed! Perfect grid
? Use-case based recommended settings
Grid trading:Mode 1 (auto-adjust) ←Mandatory
Averaging-down:Mode 1 (auto-adjust) ←Recommended
Discretionary trading:Mode 3 (Cancel) ← price-focused if desired
⚠️ Important cautions
- Adjustment may shift price by 1–3 pips from your desired price
- In scalping requiring precise pricing, be careful
- Stop levels vary by broker and currency pair
- During economic indicators, stop levels may temporarily widen
⚙️ Feature 5: Grid Reconfiguration Settings
Cut unnecessary repairs! Minimize broker load
As grid trading runs long, order repair processes occur frequently.
However,repairing orders that are too close to the current price is wasteful. They either fill immediately or drift again, so this feature smartly skips them.
? How does it decide?
Judgment logic:
Setting example:
- Grid interval: 200 points (20 pips)
- Reconfiguration threshold: 25% (default)
Calculation:
Skip range = 200 × 0.25 =50 points (5 pips)
Operation:
- Current price: 150.00
- Order A: 150.10 (+10 pips) →Repair
- Order B: 150.03 (+3 pips) →Skip (too close)
- Order C: 149.90 (-10 pips) →Repair
With this logic,wasteful order repairs are reduced by 75%according to validation data.
? 3 Benefits
1. Reduced broker load
Frequent order corrections can trigger broker warnings. This feature drastically reduces corrections andavoids account freezes.
Order corrections are processing-heavy. Skipping unnecessary corrections keepsEA performance smooth.
Orders that are too close are likely to fill quickly. By not correcting, you canenter at a better price.
? Market-type-specific recommended settings
Standard (most stable):
- Reconfiguration threshold:25%(Default)
- Use: recommended for almost all markets
Range market (want finer repairs):
- Reconfiguration threshold:10–15%
- Use: prices oscillate in narrow ranges
Trending market (less repair):
- Reconfiguration threshold:40–50%
- Use: markets moving strongly in one direction
Scalping (frequent repairs):
- Reconfiguration threshold:5–10%
- Use: ultra-short-term trading needing fine price adjustments
? Example: Repairs reduced to 1/4!
Validation conditions:
Grid of 20 orders running for 24 hours (USD/JPY)
Threshold 0% (all repaired):
• Order repair count: 873
• Broker warning emails received
• EA processing delays
Threshold 25% (default):
• Order repair count:218 (75% reduction!)
• No warnings, smooth operation
• Profits are largely similar
⚠️ Settings tips
- Setting below 5% drastically increases repairs → broker warnings
- Setting above 70% leads to almost no repairs → grid function failure
- Default 25% is generally fine
- Make changes cautiously, verify with backtesting
