Hi, could anybody explain to me how trailing stop works? I have below setting in my system ( I short on open and exit the same day on close):
ApplyStop(stopTypeTrailing,stopModePercent,4 ,1); SetOption ("ActivateStopsImmediately", True); in that case it seems to me that stop starts to trail to protect my gain only if the gain is more than 4%. I thought that the trade would be exited if price fell more than 4% below low. What would happen if both happened during the day: the price went up more than %4 and low more than 4%. It seems to me that I am going to experience gain every time although we cannot say for 100% what happened inside the bar. Could somebody explain me how ApplyStop(stopTypeTrailing,3,4 ,1); work? It gave me just unbelievable results. Thank you, Radek
