The trailing stop kicks in before the trailing step is fulfilled. I thought maybe it was the decimal point difficulty 3 versus 5 so that I added an extra 0 to the trailing measure and it averted the trailing stop...
I am having the very same issues with EA trailing,no matter watever setting I use,the outcome is exactly the same,it seems like these EAs are fooling us and neglecting us.please some one correct me or add into definition of trailing stop concept.take profit is whateveer we presume the profit will be and the trailing stop is how far we're prepared to let go of when the market goes against usand trailing step triggers when tp amount and step is added(market is moving in our favor right)? In my EA there's an alternative of trailing start too,I wonder what's trailing start?
