  Re: Percent Profit Trailing Stop Question
  
  <FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff 
  size=2>Using the profit trailing stop we enter on the trading system but exit 
  on the stop. Since the system (i picked it for illustration only) gives only 
  occassional signals exposure is thus very low: we are never more than one 
  bar in the trade. That part looks alright to me. However the profits are 
  unreal. telling me there is something wrong but i can't figure out what. I am 
  using AB 4.57.0
