RE: [Metastockusers] Trailing Stops in System Tester

simply used the Stops window in the System Tester.  [I&#8217;m running version 7.21]

<font size=2 color=navy

the Trailing tab, I selected Long and Shorts, I typed in .25 under Profit Risk

how do I write this into the Expert Advisor?

assume the Tester says to exit the position when the stock trades 25cents off
the high of the day]

I've found it very good! If you have any
calculations for the indicator builder I would be pleased to see them. I used
the .625 in place of the .25. Putting them in the same
window and making one of them invisible.  It seems to work much better
than most of the standard stops. Thus:(Ref(L,-1)-.625);Ref(H,-1)+.625. I'm sure
it must be possible to work it in the Expert "highlight" with
the indicator codes.
