    Out of the many Trailing Stop Snippets on this website which do you …

    1.   Most Prefer and have had best success with?
    2.   Least prefer and have had least success with?

    Say why if you want, but it’s not essential.

    Please might you provide a link to the TS code or copy and paste the code on here?

    Thank You

    I like this trailing SL most.

    Have tested many different trailing SL but this one usually works best, many others I get “tick mode” with high digits but rarely with this stop, so I like it best 🙂

     

    //trailing stop function
    trailingstart = 17// 20trailing will start @trailinstart points profit
    trailingstep = 5// 5trailing step to move the "stoploss"
     
    //reset the stoploss value
    IF NOT ONMARKET THEN
    newSL=0
    ENDIF
     
    //manage long positions
    IF LONGONMARKET THEN
    //first move (breakeven)
    IF newSL=0 AND close-tradeprice(1)>=trailingstart*pipsize THEN
    newSL = tradeprice(1)+trailingstep*pipsize
    ENDIF
    //next moves
    IF newSL>0 AND close-newSL>=trailingstep*pipsize THEN
    newSL = newSL+trailingstep*pipsize
    ENDIF
    ENDIF
     
    //manage short positions
    IF SHORTONMARKET THEN
    //first move (breakeven)
    IF newSL=0 AND tradeprice(1)-close>=trailingstart*pipsize THEN
    newSL = tradeprice(1)-trailingstep*pipsize
    ENDIF
    //next moves
    IF newSL>0 AND newSL-close>=trailingstep*pipsize THEN
    newSL = newSL-trailingstep*pipsize
    ENDIF
    ENDIF
     
    //stop order to exit the positions
    IF newSL>0 THEN
    SELL AT newSL STOP
    EXITSHORT AT newSL STOP
    ENDIF
     
    set stop ploss 40
