Hello, I would like to know if it is possible to make a trail stop that follows the previous open of the wing and follows the price from open to open. Thank you |

You would need to use the "Trade Management by Study" to do this. If you want the current Open, then just use the Open. Otherwise, you would have to use a Spreadsheet Formula with the following formula: =ID0.SG1[-1] Which will give you the Open of the second to last bar. Then use this as the reference in your "Trade Management by Study".

Hi John, thanks for answering. I have two spreadseht formulas with one formula for shorts =O[-1]+4*TICKSIZE And another for long =O[-1]-4*TICKSIZE now I have two TMBS one for each formula with 20 tiks and OCO 1 group My question is if it is necessary to activate the attach order in the trade window with a stop at 6 points and a target or is it not necessary? I ask this because it seems that it doesn't work well, thanks |

You have to have an attached order for the "Trade Management by Study" to manage. And you would need two copies of the "Trade Management by Study" - one for the Stop and one for the Target, if you are going to manage both of them.
