### **Strategy Recommendations:**

* **Trending Market:** Prefer EMA trend tracking or SAR indicators
* **Range-Bound Market:** Use ATR-based volatility stop-loss
* **Before Major Events:** Consider option hedging
* **Algorithmic Trading:** Recommend ATR + partial take-profit combination strategy

---

### **Key Parameter Optimization Logic:**

* Backtest different **ATR multipliers** (2–3× ATR)
* Test **EMA periods** (10–50 periods)
* Optimize **partial take-profit ratios**
* Adjust **maximum drawdown tolerance** (typically 30–50% of profit)

---

### **Risk Control Tips:**

* Avoid overly tight stop-losses that trigger too frequently
* During strong trends, consider widening take-profit targets
* Confirm trend continuation with **volume analysis**
* Adjust parameters based on **timeframe** (e.g., Daily vs Hourly)

### **Practical Example (Forex: EUR/USD):**

* **Entry:** Go long on breakout above 1.1200
* **Initial Stop-Loss:** 1.1150 (50 pips)
* **When profit reaches 1.1300:**

* Close 50% of position
* Move stop-loss to 1.1250 (lock in 50 pips profit)
* **When price rises to 1.1350:**

* Move stop-loss to 1.1300 (lock in 100 pips profit)
* **Final Outcome:**

* Price retraces to 1.1300, triggering take-profit

This method secured over **80% of trend profits** during the 2023 EUR rebound, capturing **23% more profit** compared to fixed take-profit strategies (based on backtest results).
