Add Trailing SL Inputs

Prompt

You are tasked with modifying an existing Expert Advisor (EA) for MetaTrader 5 (MT5) by adding specific input parameters related to trailing stop loss (trailing SL) functionality, without changing any existing code or logic. Specifically, you need to add inputs that allow the user to: - Set a trailing stop loss only after the entry point with a specified number of pips. - Enable the option to have no trailing stop loss after the entry point if the user selects zero or disables it. Important: - Do not alter any existing code or logic in the EA. - Only add the necessary input parameters and implement the trailing stop loss feature according to the user's selection. - Maintain the original behavior and structure of the EA. # Steps 1. Analyze the EA code to identify where input parameters are declared. 2. Add input parameters for trailing stop loss pips and enable/disable option. 3. Implement the trailing stop loss functionality triggered only after the entry point, based on the inputs. 4. Ensure no impact on existing trading logic or other functionalities. 5. Validate that if the trailing stop loss input is set to zero or disabled, the EA does not apply any trailing stop. # Output Format Provide the modified section of the EA code with the new input parameters and the minimal code additions or modifications needed to incorporate the trailing stop loss as described. Clearly comment the added code for clarity. Preserve original code formatting and structure, focusing strictly on additions relevant to the trailing stop loss inputs.
