  Hi,

  I was wondering how I could replace the vlue in pts by an “x%” instead from the MFE ?

  MFE T Stop (by Nicolas)

  //trailing stop trailingstop = 20 //resetting variables when no trades are on market if not onmarket then MAXPRICE = 0 MINPRICE = close priceexit = 0 endif //case SHORT order if shortonmarket then MINPRICE = MIN(MINPRICE,close) //saving the MFE of the current trade if tradeprice(1)-MINPRICE>=trailingstop*pointsize then //if the MFE is higher than the trailingstop then priceexit = MINPRICE+trailingstop*pointsize //set the exit price at the MFE + trailing stop price level endif endif //case LONG order if longonmarket then MAXPRICE = MAX(MAXPRICE,close) //saving the MFE of the current trade if MAXPRICE-tradeprice(1)>=trailingstop*pointsize then //if the MFE is higher than the trailingstop then priceexit = MAXPRICE-trailingstop*pointsize //set the exit price at the MFE - trailing stop price level endif endif //exit on trailing stop price levels if onmarket and priceexit>0 then EXITSHORT AT priceexit STOP SELL AT priceexit STOP endif

  1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31

  //trailing stop trailingstop = 20 //resetting variables when no trades are on market if not onmarket then MAXPRICE = 0 MINPRICE = close priceexit = 0 endif //case SHORT order if shortonmarket then MINPRICE = MIN(MINPRICE,close) //saving the MFE of the current trade if tradeprice(1)-MINPRICE>=trailingstop*pointsize then //if the MFE is higher than the trailingstop then     priceexit = MINPRICE+trailingstop*pointsize //set the exit price at the MFE + trailing stop price level endif endif //case LONG order if longonmarket then MAXPRICE = MAX(MAXPRICE,close) //saving the MFE of the current trade if MAXPRICE-tradeprice(1)>=trailingstop*pointsize then //if the MFE is higher than the trailingstop then   priceexit = MAXPRICE-trailingstop*pointsize //set the exit price at the MFE - trailing stop price level endif endif //exit on trailing stop price levels if onmarket and priceexit>0 then EXITSHORT AT priceexit STOP SELL AT priceexit STOP endif

  It suffices to express the variable trailingstop converts to a point from a previously calculated data in percentage.

  For a trailingstop of 1%:

  Trailingstop = (close * 0.01)/pointsize
