trail stop advances too aggressively

[terkk]

The trailing stop keeps advancing prematurely and stopping out the trades. Is there any written material or video on setting a trailing stop?

Hello,

Thanks for your post.

You can customize a Stop Strategy to move less frequently with the Frequency value, setting this to 5 for example will only move it every 5 ticks of profit, rather than a value of 1 which would be every tick.

More information can be found below in our Help Guide article regarding this topic:

Please let me know if I may be of any further assistance.
