Good evening,
does anyone know if it is possible to have a trailing stop based on indicator (like ATR)? Mean if the ATR is 30 so the Stop loss of the trailing stop is 30.

In this strategy tried to fill that but it does not seems to have great sense.

Hi,

Yes this is feasible: The ATR output on USDJPY is a number that starts with 0 and has decimals therefore it has be converted somehow to get a integer : in this example I multiplied it by 100.

Thanks

Good evening,
thanks for the support. Anyway during the backtest (USD/JPY 01/01/2016 - 01/10/2016) it seems that the position could not be closed (ATR*100 should have a reasonable SL in pips).
I dunno what could be that make fail the trailing Stop.

Hi,

The SL has indeed a reasonable value but your problem is :
1/ You start the strategy with a very restrictive condition: If number of open positions or orders is null thus once the position is opened, the strategy won't do anything further. The solution is to move this condition just before the open@market block

2/ Trailing step blocks: You plugged these blocks after the trading command; the problem is the strategy cannot reach the trailing process till all the conditions that sits before that are passed. It is like a serial build: your strategy have to make sure condion A is okay to execute condition B. the solution is to unlink the trailing blocks and plug them elsewhere. The question is: How frequent you need the trailing stop to be executed ? I suggest every 10 seconds, to do so you need to link the position viewer+trailing out of the period filter (from the not equal pin)

Thanks seems to have a logic, you are a great
