# Min profit for recovery pairs

* **If set to `0`:** Disabled, Recovery trades will be closed when the overall profit of the EA trades is positive
* **If set to a positive number (e.g., `$10`):** The EA will close pairs of recovery trades if their combined profit reaches or exceeds that amount.

This is useful in situations where the entry trade may still be in drawdown but the total profit of 2 recovery trades is greater than the option value.

#### **Why You Might Avoid It**

* **Delays Recovery of Entry Trade:** If you set a high threshold, the EA will prioritize closing recovery trades with enough profit before it closes the entry trade. This can **delay the recovery of the entry trade**, as it might remain open longer than expected, waiting for the recovery trades to reach the profit threshold.
* **Does Not Close Entry Trade Early:** This setting only affects recovery trades and their closure. It will not close the entry trade based on the threshold; the entry trade will remain open until it meets its own conditions.
