The quick and easy way to use a trailing stop is to go into AA
(Automated analysis - where you do your optimizations) and under the
settings button click on the stops tab and set your trailing stop to
what you want it to be.
The more sophisticated way to do it is using the Applystop
function. Here is a simple long only system moving average
optimizer using the applystop set for a trailing stop based upon a %
retracement:
Count=Optimize("Days",4,4,100,1);
stop=Optimize("stop",8,1,10,1);
Buy = Cross(Close,MA(Close,Count));
Sell = Cross(MA(Close,Count),Close);
ApplyStop(stopTypeTrailing,stopModePercent,stop,True);
There you go. Hope it helps. Check out the applystop function in
the AFL user's manual and also read a bit in the archive- it can be
a bit tricky at first.
