# Advanced Recovery - Levels Spacing and Take Profit

This group gives you **extra control over Recovery behavior** by letting you define:

1. **Exactly how far apart recovery trades are placed** (level-by-level), and
2. **Exactly when the recovery basket should close in profit** (also level-by-level).

It’s designed for users who want Recovery to behave in a **predictable, testable way** (great for backtesting and for traders who prefer fixed rules over “Auto” logic).

### What these options control

#### 1) **Recovery spacing by level**

Instead of using one spacing rule for all recoveries, you can set a list like:\
`50,100,200`

Meaning:

* Recovery 1 opens after the first distance
* Recovery 2 uses the next distance from Recovery 1
* Recovery 3 uses the next distance from Recovery 2
* If you allow more recoveries than values provided, the EA **reuses the last distance**

This gives you fine control over whether spacing is **tight early and wider later**, or any pattern you prefer.

***

#### 2) **Basket take-profit targets by level**

You can also define how the **basket TP target changes** depending on how many recoveries are active.

That’s handled by two parts:

* **TP units type for recovery levels** → what your numbers mean (Percentage / Account currency / Points)
* **Basket TP target per level** → the actual per-level targets (e.g., `0.2,0.35,0.6`)

So you can aim for smaller exits when recovery depth is low, and larger exits when more recoveries are open.

Basket profit calculations use **EA balance** (or **Custom Balance** if enabled).

### When to use this group (and when not to)

✅ Use it if you want:

* consistent recovery spacing across brokers/tests
* clear “if X recoveries, then TP is Y” rules
* more control than the standard Recovery spacing/TP logic

⚠️ Avoid it (or be conservative) if you’re new to Recovery:\
These settings are powerful, but **rigid**. Spacing is followed strictly, so small distances can increase exposure quickly. Always combine with drawdown limits, max recoveries, and hard stops.
