Trailing stop attachment

[Teebone21]

I created a indicator that follows the open price trend tick by tick and want go automatically have a trail follow the indicator until trend change. Is this an option using strategy builder?

Hi Teebone21, thanks for your question.

I have an example here on a break even in the strategy builder. You can take this same concept and update the stop loss to a value that changes over time instead of the average entry price.

Please let me know if I can assist any further.

Hello Chris,
please could you explain:
when StopLossMode == 0 is likely expected a stop loss set on the next tab of the SB?
I remember a similar sample using state/ bool, is there a specific reason this sample now uses a StopLossMode/ integer ? What is the advantage?
How would it be possible to add another exit condition working together with the breakeven when StopLossMode==1, for example exit when current price crosses low[1] ?
thank you.

Hello guidoisot,

Thanks for your post.

When there are two condition states you can use a bool or you can use a numerical value, either way makes no difference as it is up to you as the programmer to know if you are using a bool or a numerical value.

Yes, you can add another exit condition when the variable StopLossMode is equal to 1. You would basically copy set 4 and add the cross condition and change the exit to an ExitLong.

thank you.
I have added a third exit but it does not work.
At time 16:00 there is also a trade that does not breakeven.

Please can you help to find out why?
