many questions here I apologize...stop configuration confusing...different from NT

where/what is the setting for number of ticks to trail under Move to breakeven for stop?
under type dropdown: I have trail to breakeven...BE level offset set to -1 (1tick loss) trigger offset 4 ticks(point at which to start trail)...

where is trail amount setting?...some calculation based initial?...
instructions read that move to breakeven is INDEPENDENT from other stop settings....
stops do not move as expected/ directed....

is there a manually directed sim data feed similar to NT's so that I can simply test execution and see how stops move?....wasting time here waiting for sets on live sim....what takes hours could be done in minutes...

The easiest way to test your Attached Orders functionality is to use Chart >> Replay Chart (Standard Replay).
Find a place in the past where price moved enough to test your setup, scroll your chart to that location. The replay begins at the right edge of the chart.

As for the settings, not sure exactly what you want. Here are 3 examples from the documentation:

I use tradestation/multicharts environment for charting so never had replay capability....don't use SC for charting just DOM....

thank you for examples

This is going to be the original stop offset. We will make a note to add a separate offset after the trailing is triggered for the Trail To Breakeven Offset Triggered functionality.

To test the Attached Orders use the Replay functionality which is fully documented here:
