ok,

Thank you, I think I understood now but one question is still unanswered:

What would happen if both happened during the day and my trailing stop is %4.
-the price went up more than %4 and
-low more than 4%.

It seems to me that I am going to experience gain every time although
we cannot say for 100% what
happened inside the bar.

Thank you,

Radek
