  Hi.
  There are so many great snippets here.
  I use

  RobertoGozzi TS with cumulative orders

  but i need help.
  It starts trailing until in profit but then stops trailing.

  Would it be posible to follow the highest candle (bar position) with X-distance.
  Se my attached picture

  I prefer not to show all my code.
  Do you really need all of it 🙂

  Its just about the trail-funtion?
  Is it possbile to trail with x-distance from highest canlde?

  Explain me what your trailing stop should do, from the start to the end of a trade.

  My code was not meant to follow candlesticks. I think it’s better to code a new one.

  I like a trailing stoploss function that keep a disctance X from highest candle.
  It only trail one way thats up for bulltrade. If the candles goes down it finaly hits the stolploss.

  at the beginning the stoploss distance is from CLOSE (the entry price), not from HIGH obviously. From then on it starts following any higher high.

  Shame to waste Roberto kindness, so link to above added as Log 304 here

  Snippet Link Library

  I’ll have a go using it later on a few of my Algos. Never  seen much improvement with any trailing stop.

  We could do with a dedicate topic to try and bottom out what TS’s work and with what type of strategy.

  Hello everybody,

  May I ask you something please ?

  <span class="Y2IQFc" lang="en">How to code capital protection? For example, if I have an initial capital of €5000, and after a few days I earn €1000, I must protect this new capital and put a stop for example at €1100. If my new capital subsequently drops to €800, I will leave the program. Thank you and have a good day. </span>

  Hello everybody,

  How to code capital protection? For example, if I have an initial capital of €5000, and after a few days I earn €1000,

  I must protect this new capital and put a stop for example at €1100. If my new capital subsequently drops to €800, I will leave the program.

  Thank you and have a good day.

  Try this one:
