Thanks a ton - but that is exactly what i am struggling with -
 
I can manage the code logic for the trailing stop loss but am stuck with
 
"Suppose you have a variable, EnterLong, that becomes positive when you enter, then simply do something like.."
How to program a variable which will track the change in position OR the current position ?
 
what is the function for checking the current position and the change in position ?
 
Regards

OK, so this gives the all time high.  Well, then let us work with
that.  Suppose you want to use a level say 10% below this, then simply
use something like

StopLevel :== 0.9 * X;

to get it.  Also, if you don't want the all time high, just the
highest high since entry, then simply reset it on entry.  Suppose you
have a variable, EnterLong, that becomes positive when you enter, then
simply do something like

X :== Max( PREV, Y ) * ( EnterLong > 0 ) + Y * ( EnterLong <== 0 );

and the level will be equal to Y (probably the close) as long as you
are out.
