hey

I try to set up a trailing step stop that the stop will move to 1:2 ratio then 1:3 then 1:4 etc
for example
i set up in the target window
stop off set 10(pts)
trigger off set 22
trail offset 2
step amount 10

so if the price go up by 22 pts and back 2 pts i get 1:2
if it didnt get back and countiued to 32 pts and then go back 2pts i get 1:3

now this works fine but if i place an order on the chart then i move my stop lets say to 12 pts,
I want the trailing step stop will be modified automaticlly so i keep the same ratios
is it possible?

We are not understanding what you are wanting to accomplish.

And we do not understand the statement about going "back 2 pts". With the setup you describe, when the price goes up 22 points, then your Trigger is met and the Stop will move to a 2 point offset from the current price. If the price goes back 2 points at this time, then the position will close out.
