# Auto Min Profit Multiplier

Normally, the EA calculates a “minimum acceptable profit” level on its own (based on its internal logic and current conditions). **Auto Min Profit Multiplier** simply scales that auto value up or down.

* **1.00** = default behavior (no change)
* **> 1.00** = requires **more** profit before the EA considers closing
* **< 1.00** = allows closing with **less** profit

Think of it as a “strictness” knob for the EA’s *minimum profit* rule.

### How it works (simple)

The EA takes its **auto Minimum Profit** value and applies this multiplier:

**New Minimum Profit = Auto Minimum Profit × Multiplier**
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}

### Examples

#### Example A — Default

* Auto Minimum Profit = `$10`
* Multiplier = `1.0`\
  ✅ New Minimum Profit = `$10`

#### Example B — More strict (needs higher profit)

* Auto Minimum Profit = `$10`
* Multiplier = `1.1`\
  ✅ New Minimum Profit = `$11` (**+10%**)

#### Example C — More flexible (can close earlier)

* Auto Minimum Profit = `$10`
* Multiplier = `0.9`\
  ✅ New Minimum Profit = `$9` (**−10%**)
  {% endhint %}

### When to use it

✅ Use **> 1.0** if you want:

* fewer “small-profit” exits
* more selective closes (often smoother results, but potentially longer holds)

✅ Use **< 1.0** if you want:

* more frequent exits
* easier closes in choppy markets (but possibly smaller average profits)
  {% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}

### Practical tips

* Make small changes first: **1.05** or **0.95** is usually a safer starting tweak than big jumps.
* If you’re using Recovery or basket exits, be careful with high values — requiring “too much” profit can keep baskets open longer.
