@Stephan,

Could you please write a little bit about how the safeties work?

I have tried looking them up in trading dictionaries but I am not able to find what "RoofOut" means etc.

I presume it is when the signal turns 90 degrees to fall, the bot would sell out before the signal reached the base line.  Is this correct?

Thank you
No. I don't think thats how the 'RoofOut' works.  I just looked over the Indicator.  It looks more like its a 'Limit Sell Order'

Notice in the static Roofout it asks for a price while the Dynamic Roofout asks for a percentage above the buy price.  That tells me it works oppisite of how a stop loss does.

Roof Out would be used to secure profits in a gaining trade.  Since we can't know for sure how high a price will gain in a trade some like to limit their outcome by selling early to secure a profit.
