Hello,

I've looked at the documentation about order types but I still can't set up the stop as I want.

Can you please help me with the settings? This is what I'd like to have:

1) Initial stop: 40ticks
2) When price move +20 ticks -> Stop moves at BE +1 tick
3) When then price move to +40ticks -> Stop move to +40 ticks

The point of this is having a trailing stop instead of a target so that if I catch a lot of volatility and it goes for example to +80 tick I can take advantage of some more profit instead of stopping at 40 ticks like if I put a target.

Thank you very much in advance for the help.

You should be able to do this by using the 2 steps for the Move to BreakEven.

Set Step 1 to the following:
- Type: Offset in Ticks Triggered
- BE Level Offset: 1
- Trigger Offset: 20

Then set Step 2 to the following:
- Type: Offset in Ticks Triggered
- BE Level Offset: 0
- Trigger Offset: 40


Refer to the following:
Attached Orders: Move to Breakeven for Stop
