Hello all,
My name is Michael and I have a question.
In ProRealTime, after you’re in a position you have the possibility to set a Trailing Stop (fixed or in %). You also have the possibility to set a Profit Target. However, is there a possibility to also have a Trailing Profit Target?
Thanks for your help in advance!

any of these below, with the flexibility of combining them with “if” statements for your trailing rules ending up defining variable X:
- Set Stop Price X : Allows to set a stop at a price X defined directly by the user and not in relation to the entry price of the position.
- Set Stop pProfit/%Profit/$Profit/Profit X : Allows to set a stop at X points / % / € / unit above the entry price of the position.
For example, if you want to raise the trailing profit level by 5 points each time your price is 40 points above the trailing profit level :

Not sure if it’s a typo and you’re talking about set stop price X, with X used as a custom trailing level variable, or set stop pProfit, or the old set stop trailing instruction (which personnally I don’t use and find less useful than the new ones).
But yes, with set stop price X for example, you can imagine any condition you’d like within “if” statements to modify X step by step, can be number of bars(horizontal axis), can be progress made (vertical axis), can be time, can be something crossing something else (event)…
