Hi Samuel,

This happens because you are using the actual price as a stop loss. Stop loss should be set in pips instead.

Dear Trader,

The Trailing Stop Loss now resides on the server, it works when cTrader is closed. You can apply it when creating an order. It has also been simplified, please enter the number of pips it should trail the spot price for, and it will move every pip.

 

Hi,

 

Are there any plans to have actual settings for the trailing SL, separate from the regular SL (as the whole point is with this,
as somebody explained in their example. So the trailing SL gets triggered once the regular SL price or % or pips change is hit)?

Right now, you have trailing giant stoploss at the size of your regular stoploss as there's only 1 stoploss setting..

 

Hi Robert,

We do not have such plans at the moment.

Hi FireMyst,

Shouldn't it be flipped when the close price passes through and not the high/low?

Maybe because History does not contain positions but HistoricalTrade items.

Hi ctid246422,

I am not annoyed, I just missed that part of the question. Levels in overlaying indicators do not actually do anything. They will be removed in a future update.

Hi ctid246422,

You can find instructions on how to create an Indicator here which is an almost identical process to creating a cBot. This is the reply to your query on how to use the code you have found. You can use that code and build an indicator based on the instructions given in the link.
