The AgenaTrader++ plusplus entries tab allows you to edit the general Stop Escort settings.
| Function | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Fixed Tick Distance | Sets distance in ticks from the calculated stop price to the actual order. Calculated stop prices are usually highs/lows of the periods. To avoid spoofing at these points the order will be placed n ticks away from the entry price. |
| Distance ATR Factor | Refers to the ATR factor used for the size calculation based on the ATR. 0.10 means that the distance in ticks will be set to 1/10th of the current ATR value. If a value is also entered in the Fixed Tick Distance cell, the distance will be measured based on the maximum of both values. |
| Distance on ATR | Allows you to smooth distances in tick size e.g. between cheap stocks and Futures or Forex. As a result, a tick calculation will be performed based on the ATR(20). |
| Synthetic-Order on MinStop Distance | Allows you to place Synthetic orders on the market. By enabling this you avoid problems with CFD brokers (e.g.: FXCM / XTB) if you are not able to place the stop as close in the market as you would like due to restrictions on the broker's pages. |
