SetTrailStop extrange behaviour

[marynja]

Hello !

I set a SetTrailStop function in the Initialize function as this.

SetTrailStop(CalculationMode.Ticks, 20);

but i dont understand how its works

For example:

If the strategy have a short entry at 100,76, then close at 100,46 ...

I think must be close at 100,56 because if the stop was set to 100,96 (20 ticks), the steps of trailstop will be 100,96, 100,76, 100,56 ....

its correct? where is the problem?

Thank you very much.

marynja, trailstops would be amended tick by tick in realtime. In your case you need to see price hit 56 to start trailing by the 20 ticks then.
