Trailing Stop EAs for MT4

I've decided to gather the resources about Trailing Stop EAs available today.

Most of indicators and EAs is a courtesy of Forex-TSD.com - one of the most advanced forums about Forex trading, where you can find almost anything!
But even then, it's sometimes difficult to find indicators/EAs you need quickly.
So, I've decided to make a series of pages with indicators and Expert Advisors (EAs) that, in my opinion, are the most useful.

Follow me, enjoy trading!

All EAs should be copied into the "/Experts" folder.

TrailAllSymbols - "true" - will trail all the symbols/pairs, not just the one it's been attached to.

With magicNumber.from and magicNumber.to you "regulate" which magic numbers should it trail (magic number 0 are usually only manual trades, so if you include 0 it will monitor and trail manual trades along with chosen magic numbers)

Paramenters
Lots to explore.

8. trade_protector-1.2.mq4 - expert advisor

Old: trade_protector-1.0.mq4 - expert advisor

Purpose:
Unlike a regular fixed trailing stop, which is sensitive to price pullbacks, the proportional trailing stop allows to set % ratio of pips being protected by a trailing stop depending on how well the trend moves. You set the % ratio, and the EA keeps moving the stop loss to X% of the distance between the current price and the order.
Formula used:
ProportionalSL = | CurrentPrice - OrderOpenPrice | x Ratio - Spread
