Re: Trailing Stop

That really does sound like the Count Back Line as discussed in SHARE 
TRADING by Daryl Guppy.
>From the highest high bar (Bar 1)you go back from the low of that bar to the 
previous highest high bar(Bar 2)and from the low of this bar to previous 
highest high bar (Bar 3) and then from the low of this bar draw the stop 
loss line. If the close breaches this line then prepare to exit.
There is code for it but it is cumbersome. I'm posting it to the list later.
I mainly place the CBL manually like in the attached chart.

Ian
