Move SL to breakeven on TP1 — how I configured it

Receiver settings → Trade Management → enable 'Move SL to breakeven on TP1'. Set the buffer to +1 pip on the entry direction. Works for MT4/MT5 receivers, not currently for Tradovate.

0.5% per trade on a prop is the right number. Anyone going higher is gambling with the firm's money.

Score: 14

Reverse-copy: I tested for 6 weeks. Slightly +EV but the variance was brutal. Not recommended unless you have a huge sample.

The session filter dropping at the receiver (not blocking at sender) is exactly what I wanted. Didn't realise it worked that way.
