trailing stop above open price

[Trader3487]

Hi, how can I set the trailing stop to activate only when market reaches opening price (otherwise it stops out orders in the minus)? I tried putting condition between pass only and trailing stop saying if candle close > candle open, then start trailing but didn't work. Thanks in advance

There is a parameter named "Trailing start"

I am using the trailing start block - http://fxdreema.com/shared/rDQNi2umc

Ok, see "Start when profit is above" parameter

[Trader3487]

it is set to "open price" but it still begins trailing below open price

Using this, and any other block does not guarantee that all the trades will be closed on profit always. You know that all trades starts negative. There is also "step" parameter (yes, it can be 0). And you can always check the source code of this block.

I understand, but how can I set the trailing stop to begin to trail only when the market goes above open price? Is this set up correctly: http://fxdreema.com/shared/K48k6OtL?

There are 3 basic parameters - Stop, Step and Start - controlling them you control the trailing stop functionality. Put Step to 0 and play with Start if needed. But I am not a scalper, and I can't give exact recommendations in this scale.
