Trailing stop in candles period?

[Ali-pahlawan]

when candles are moving up after my buy order , i want to move my sl to the lowest low in the last 3 candle(candles id=1-2-3).
i did it like this and 2 concepts are not clear for me.
trailing step and trailing start are the same.am i wrong?
what is difference between them?
what is the best numbers and options in trailing stop block for my idea?
i set trailing step=20 pips and trailing start=20 pips.
what will happen?confused me so much!!!!!!!!
thank you if you share the link for the better project idea.(shared copy link).

@ali-pahlawan Trailing start is how far from open price before trailing stop starts to move, trailing step is how far the trade has to move before moving, it then has to move this far again before it moves again. If you have a 20pip step then you have to be 20pips in profit before it moves, then 40, then 60 etc, the start would wait for 20 then the stop/step would be the only difference, so you could have trail wait for 20 then move every 10 with the step.

@jstap i just want to move my sl just in lowest low of the 3 candles before.then i have to set trailing step and trailing start as empty.allright?
and this is impossible in fxdreema.because its options exist in the block.i can just remove ticks on the check boxes in front of step and start.but they will be executed.if i set the numbers set to 0 or null what happens?
please on the screen show me if you have time for it.thanks.

@ali-pahlawan you could use a modify variables block to find the high or low of the last 3 days and place that as a variable. Then use another condition above a trail stop that has, when price X variable, now start your trail stop.

I think this would work.

@ali-pahlawan As tipsy has said, set a condition to start trail, something like market properties highest/lowest price from last 3 candles = market properties mid/bid/ask, under this put the trail block. This will make the trail only start once the congilion is met.
