Trailing stop issue : it's not where is should be

Melpheos · #1 (**permalink**) 02-15-2007, 07:38 PM

Hello everyone,

i have a simple question (i have searched first here and on ff and on google but noone seems to have this problem )

Either i am stupid but in MT4 there is a trailing stop option.

But it does not show anywhere on the one i am using even after the latest update...

I know that i am supposed to right click on the trade to have the said option but it's NOT showing...

Also right clicking the position on the graph does not give any option at all about existing order (except new trade and the other graph options )

Anyone know if i am missing something or .... ?

Edit : i got my response, TFI public company (default demo account on MT4) does NOT support trailling stop.... That explains why it was not showing

You can demo this one for a bit, and if you provide feedback, I'll give it to you free.

Settings:

TS_activation= How many pips in profit to start the trail.
TrailPips= How many pips to trail by

Save it in the experts folder.
Load it on any chart.
The pop ups will ask you if you would like to trail each open order. You can either accept or deny.
There is no minimum trailing distance!!!!

Seems to be working very very fine so far. I has saved me a lot of pips.

Yet you need to think properly about the settings to take the better of it.

This is a great tool.

There was allready such a EA existing somewhere (think it's on FF ) but this one fits my trade psychology better.

The other one takes partial profit at defined level but this is something i like to do manually

Trailing Stops work on MIG demo and any other MT4 platform i tried,
the platform should be running all the time.

Which broker do you use?
