Trailing stop not working
-
Hi,
I have set up the following trailing stop. I was watching and with the increase in profit of 1 pip I was expecting the SL to increase by 1 pip as well. It did not happen. What am I missing? Also, in back testing the trailing stop did not work.

Thank you,

The first block asks for a Buy trade and because of that I don't expect anything to work on backtest. There is no Buy trade => there is no chance for this block to pass.
Otherwise I can suggest to put the trailing stop somewhere on top level, so it could run on every tick.

I back tested with the first block as No Trade. Does the Trailing stop have to be at the top level as I want to close other trades before opening a new trade to be trailed?
-
Issue was because it was not at top level. It is working now.

The Trailing stop block needs to run on every tick (in most cases, this is not mandatory). Just placing the block somewhere does not guarantee that it will do the job continuously. When I first made this block, it was automatically working all the time. But then I decided that the person should be able to decide when to run this block by placing it under "Hours filter" or other blocks.
