Because trailing stop and trailing step are different concepts. Just hover the mouse on them and you will read the difference. Because of your trailing step is 20 it will only move from 0 to , 20, to 40, to 60, etc.

RE: Check if more conditions are true in the last "n" barsposted in Questions & Answers
You can use an effective but inefficent way. Create a bool variable and evry time the condition is met move it to 'true'. Then create another variable counting candles once per bar'. If the boolean condition is true before the maximum 'n' bars is reached, you got it.

That's much better, but not exactly. Just use one 'break even block on the left (for buys and sells) and one 'trailing stop' block on the right (fir buys and sells). You do not need to duplicate any of them unless you are programming different settings for buys and sells (as is not the case).

RE: THE DISTANCE BETWEEN SOME CANDLESposted in Questions & Answers
Just use counter variables. Create as many of them as you need and add +1 ever new candle is open. Then you can use a condition block so that if the maximum number has not been reached when the crossing happened, the next condition can be checked.
