<DIV><FONT size=2>Is there any way to set a moving trailing stop in a MS System 
based on my own criteria.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Specifically, on my S&amp;P system, I&nbsp; move a trailing 
stop if a bar in my trade direction finishes in the upper 25% of the bar (if 
long) or lower 25% of the bar (if short),&nbsp; I move the trailing stop to a 
few ticks under/over the bar.&nbsp; I may also move it based on other criteria, 
such as weakening trend, etc.&nbsp; Can you write code to set a stop, or does it 
have to be set up using the available MS options only.</FONT></DIV>

Market If Touched.  If that priced is touched, then your order becomes a

  Since corn has reversed back up and remaining in the congestion area I
will exit the corn sell signal tomorrow with a MIT
  at 235.1 (provided that is hit before my buy stop at 239.5). Not sure
this is the best way to handle it but if my MIT is hit
  I will take a little .05 cent loss, if my stop is hit..a 5 cent loss.
Comments anyone?
