Post From: Problem with Stop loss distance and Trigger for Trailing Stop in Spreadsheet

1) I have set up a spreadsheet trading system and an attached order with a stop loss distance of 40 ticks.
If I run the system on a live market and the signal triggers an entry, the stop is initially correct on the chart, but after a while something triggers the stop randomly after 15, 20 or 21 ticks. How can this happen?

2) How do I set up a trigger for the attached order stop offset (J81) in the spreadsheet? At the moment the exit is defined in L3 when price hits let's say a MA or VWAP. I'd like to have the same signal to trigger the offset of the stop, not the exit. Could you give me a hint how to do this?
