    Hi.

    Is it possible to use mtf trailing stoploss.

    Im a fan of ATR-trailing stoploss.

    For stategys of 1 h timeframe i want the trailing more active and responsive. Is it possible to use timeframe 5 min For trailing stoploss?

    Yes, I almost always use that TF for my trailing stop.

    You can use any TF you like (provided it is the default one and all the higher TFs are a multiple of 5, or it is a multiple of the default one).

    I always use a 5-minute TF (a few times I have used the 30-minute TF for strategies on a Daily TF).

    I always use a version in PIPS.

    My default timeframe is 15 min.
    PRT says its not possible to mix that with timeframe 5 3 or 1 min?

    I was looking for a lower timeframe for trailing stoploss

    The higher TFs must be a multiple of the default one (which is the smallest one, the one displayed on your chart).

    Is 15 a multiple of 1, 3 or 5?  Yes, then you can use all of them as default TF for your trailing stop.

    No, the SMALLEST TF must be the one on your chart!

    So on your chart you need to set the 3-minute TF, then you can use any higher TF in your code, provided it’s a MULTIPLE of 3.

    Write the strategy in

    timeframe (15minutes, updateonclose)

    and set over the trailing stop

    timeframe (default)

    … and then change to the time frame of your choice … M5 … M3 … M1 …

    right Robertogozzi?
