C# Script FUncion for Trailing Stop

[larryandjutta]

Hi, could you please tell me if there is a script function (C#) to enter a trailing stop in NJ?

BAckground: I use IB. They have extensive trailing stops. Before going live I would like to try out a strategy with trailing stops and backtest in NJ.
Thank you!

I have been using that ... the code is below. HOWEVER, at least in backtesting, this acts as a Stop and not as a Trailing Stop.
Thank you,

protectedoverridevoid Initialize()
{
SMA(Fast).Plots[0].Pen.Color = Color.Orange;
SMA(Slow).Plots[0].Pen.Color = Color.Green;
Add(SMA(Fast));
Add(SMA(Slow));

CalculateOnBarClose = false;
}
///<summary>
/// Called on each bar update event (incoming tick)
///</summary>
protectedoverridevoid OnBarUpdate()
{
// Condition set 1
if (SMA(Fast)[0] > SMA(Slow)[0] && InMarket == false)
{
EnterLong(DefaultQuantity, "");
SetTrailStop(trailing);
InMarket = true;
}

What amount did you enter for 'trailing', it might not get activated at all if set too high...
