Post From: Trailing buy stops/sell stops

I am trying to create trailing buy stops/sell stops which I am using on Thinkorswim in SC.

I cannot seem to get the chase limit order to work as intended.

Ex: Simple moving average. I want to buy when price crosses the SMA with a trailing buy of say 4 ticks. That means if price dives straight through the simple moving average by 8 ticks and then bounces back above the SMA, I would have triggered a buy 4 ticks below.

Same applies if opposite (price is below SMA, and I want to short it with a trailing sell).

Is this doable?
