Trailing stop question

Hello DayTradingDEMON,

Thank you for your post.

I see you edited the post so let me know if your original questions has changed.

The way you have it set up, you are telling the Stop Strategy:

Breakeven

Once my position hits 12 ticks (3 points) in Profit, move my Stop Loss to 4 ticks (1 point) above my entry price

AutoTrail

Once the position hits 12 ticks (3 points) in Profit, move my Stop Loss to 8 ticks (2 points) below the current market price, and also move it up for every additional 8 ticks (2 points) in Profit.


If your strategy is not working as expected, most likely it is because the Auto Trail has the same Profit trigger as the Breakeven.


For more information, Please refer to the following publicly available link for instructions on how to set your profit triggers and trailing stop loss:
