I really don't know if you can use a percentage number on the IBC
interface or not. I looked at TWS and you can use a % Trail order
there. Many on-line brokerages allow this. If you can set the IBC
order to use a % number I don't know how. But what I wrote will work
and TWS will allow you to use a stop amount in the trail.
I suggest you ask this on the AmiBroker-AT forum or send a note to AB
support.
Sorry for the misdirection,
Barry
