[amibroker] Re: Initiating Trailing Stop after hitting Profit Target

["dweilmuenster95125" <dweilmuenster95125@xxxxxxxxx>]

Tomasz, thanks fo your quick reply <g>.

I think that I understand the example in the Knowledge Base, but it 
doesn't seem to address my question directly.

The goal is to have no trailing stop in place until the trade reaches 
a Profit Target, say of y%, then to implement a trailing stop from 
that point into the future.

Are you saying that by adding more logic to the example loop, I could 
detect that the Profit Target has been hit, and then start looking 
for a trailing stop trigger?



Thanks,
David
