[amibroker] Trailing Stops

["jjj_98" <jjj_98@xxxxxxxxx>]

I've got a problem with the trailing stop function and was wondering if 
there was a way to do this properly.  From what I have seen it appears 
that, for example, you are trading on the 5 minute timeframe and say 
the bar opens at 85, has a low of 80, a high of 100 and a close of 90.

Now if you have a trailing stop set at 15, for some reason it gets 
triggered even though if you look at the 1 minute charts there is no 
way that the prices dropped down to 85 after the high of 100 was hit.

I guess that is the way the trailing stop is programmed.  I was 
thinking I could run all my code in the 5 minute time frame and then 
set the backtesting to 1 minute so that it uses the 1 minute bars as 
reference.

Anyone seen this problem, know of a solution or know if my solution 
will work before I spend the time to do it.

thx,

Fred
