Re: Trailing stop problem

Very unreliable.
Think of it this way: it calculates a move "back" from the top of the/some
bar.
Now if you want to sell at the high of the bar just set a very small
trailing stop.
In real trading you don't know the high of a bar untill the bar is closed !

ps. You can verify this by plotting a smaller timeframe and see if TS plays
it honestly.
It works OK with large trailing stops.
