# Fix Distance Between Recovery Trades (Points)

* **If set to `0`:**  Disabled (EA calculates best spot automatically).
* **If set to a positive value (e.g., `400`):** EA opens recovery trades at a fixed distance in points.

{% hint style="info" %}

#### Example

* Drawdown triggers a recovery trade.
* Fixed distance = 400 points → next recovery trade opens **exactly 400 points away** from the previous trade.
* Useful for predictable spacing and manual planning.
  {% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}

#### Notes

* If disabled (0) → EA still dynamically adjusts recovery distances based on market conditions.
* Fixed distance is more rigid and may not always align with market volatility.
* Recommended for advanced users who want **consistent spacing** in recovery setups.
  {% endhint %}

{% hint style="success" %}

#### **When to Use**

* Advanced users who want **predictable spacing** between recovery trades.
* Accounts where market volatility is consistent and predictable.
  {% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}

#### When NOT to Use

* Avoid on **small or very volatile accounts**, because rigid spacing may open trades in unfavorable conditions.
* Not recommended for users who prefer the EA’s **dynamic recovery logic**.
  {% endhint %}

{% hint style="danger" %}

#### **Warnings**

* Fixed distance may **ignore market structure** or volatility spikes.
* Using this incorrectly can increase drawdown instead of reducing it.
* Always monitor the account closely when first using fixed distances.
