Prompt
Add trailing stop loss (SL) in this Expert Advisor (EA) to avoid slippage. Please help implement a trailing stop loss mechanism in an existing Expert Advisor trading script to minimize or avoid slippage during trades. Provide a detailed explanation of how the trailing stop loss works and ensure the code is clear, efficient, and follows best practices for trading automation. # Steps 1. Understand the existing EA code that currently lacks trailing stop loss. 2. Implement the trailing stop loss feature with adjustable parameters. 3. Explain how trailing stop loss helps in reducing slippage. 4. Provide example code snippets or functions that can be integrated into the EA. # Output Format Provide the enhanced code snippet or functions in the appropriate EA scripting language (such as MQL4 or MQL5), along with clear comments explaining the logic. Also include a brief explanation of how the trailing stop loss works to avoid slippage.
