Top Trailing Stop EAs Metatrader 4 Collection

I've decided to gather the resources about Trailing Stop EAs available today.
Most of indicators and EAs is a courtesy of exness.com - one of the most advanced forums about Forex trading, where you can find almost anything!
But even then, it's sometimes difficult to find indicators/EAs you need quickly.
So, I've decided to make a series of pages with indicators and Expert Advisors (EAs) that, in my opinion, are the most useful.
Follow me, enjoy trading!
All EAs should be copied into the "/Experts" folder.
