SetTrailStop

Hello,

I use the SetTrailStop, but it does not trail when my trade is in profit, it will only trail the stop loss. Is this because I'm using a SetProfitTarget as well?

Thanks.

Hello AdeptistJune,

Thank you for your post.

I'm not certain what you mean by it will only trail the stop loss. SetTrailStop sets a stop that trails toward profit by 1 tick for each tick in profit the price moves and does not reverse direction. It starts at the specified distance from the entry and will remain that many ticks back from the largest number of ticks in profit reached by the position. Could you show a screenshot depicting what you mean?

Thanks in advance; I look forward to assisting you further.

Hey Kate,

You're right. I ran it in playback, I saw your explanation of the process in real time.

Thanks.
