Hello,
I came across this several times now, and I think everybody would benefit from my suggestion: availability of simultaneous StopLoss and Trailing stops. I think the majority of more complex trading strategies use both of these features, and it is not supported right now with managed orders.
The only way is using a very small data series added internally to track and modify a second stoploss order to simulate trailing stop orders. However it's tricky to code, and not the same as the real trailing stop offered by the managed order function - SetTrailStop.
Please provide a way of using SetTrailStop, either with the ExitLongStop/ExitshortStop or with SetStopLoss. It would save people from a lot of trouble and hard work, enhancing the NT7 to a spectacular trading platform.
And another thing: A built-in profit trigger would be great as an additional parameter to SetTrailStop (like in ATM strategies), as for now it can only be achieved by changing the trailing stop in the OnBarUpdate whenever a certain amount of profit is reached - at bar close.
Thanks!
