Trail stop not working at all
-
My trail stop does not move and I want to start a position with a stop lost of 50pips and then every 10 pips it moves up. It will cross the break even point and one day hit the stop lost for a profit or a lost for example. What I am doing wrong in this picture?? I just want my stop lost to trail up
-
the block is not connected!
-
keep in mind that group trailing starts counting pips of (Trailing start) from the breakeven of the group PnL,
if you set trailing start [10pips] it will count 10 pips in profit of the total trades to trigger placing SL -
So I have connected it under the buy and nothing is happening, the SL does not move. These pips numbers doesnt really matter because I just wan to do a Optimization at the end
-
i use it like this
[ If position ]=>[ Check position count ]=>[ Trailing (group) ]
and its works fine -
i also add a formula before the trailing block,
in the example below you see also how to make a unified SL for the group/grid -
Its a little bit complicated because I dont really know your EA, but Im just want to play around the trail stop with a simple condition - Buy - trailstop node that works. It will trail the stop and pass the break event for a trade to maybe SL into profit instead of using a TP
-
is it a single trade or group trade ?

This is how it works if I understood what you said correctly. Your initial SL is 300 pips. Then, as soon as the trade is in profit:
- For every 10 new pips in profit (ie, at 10 pips, 20 pips, 30 pips and so on...), the S: must move. In that case, you need to specify 10 on the Trailing step box.
- Now you want the SL to move in the profit direction a specific distance, for example 30 pips. Then this is the value you need to insert into the trailing stop box. However, be careful because you are moving the SL faster than the price is moving in the profit direction. There will be a moment in which the SL will 'catch up' the price and will be stop momentarily until there is a new 30 pips gap between both of them.
- Considering you want this to happen as soon as the trade is in profit, you should select the default trailing start Off option. You don't need the current configuration as per your screenshot.

It was a single trade, I guess you just used the group trail stop node for more. I think the reason why it wasnt moving its because I was on a gold chart and the point value is different from a Forex Pair. So, just making a new trail stop node and connecting it to the Sell or buy order work but I want to know if it work without connecting it? Because if I put once per day node+condition+buy+trailstop nodes(in that order), would the trail only trigger once per day, even though it has a Once per day or time filter node for example?
-
any block needs to be connected to at least on other block to work,
once per day will pass the "block activation" to the block next to it once per day ,
i would recommend you separate the trailing stop block like this ( [ If position ]=>[ Trailing Stop ] ) since you want the "trade" once per day not the "trailing stop" -
What KLG said is correct. Single blocks don't work infxDreema. Simple connect a grey 'pass' block on top of the blue trailing stop block with the right configuration and it will work correctly.

Alright thanks guys
