can anybody teach me how to do/set trailing stop? any script needed? or any web to look at?

are u using MT4? If yes, just right click on your order (pending/floating), point to "Trailing Stop" and select or enter number of pips u wish to trail. Bear in mind, your PC/laptop MUST be online in order for your trailing stop to work.

Good luck & profitable trading

Is it true? if i set my trailing stop, after that turn off my pc and go to sleep, what will happen to the TS?

Does that defeat the purpose of TS ? So trader dun have to look at the pc all day long?

Not sure about other platform, if I am not mistaken for MT4 platform, yes, u have to leave your PC/laptop online. Of course, u don't need to keep looking at your PC for your TS to work biggrin.gif , set it and leave it online, and u can goto sleep liao. Your MT4 platform will monitor the price and trail the stop accordingly as long as it is connected to the Server.

Just want to get some clarification. I've read somewhere that TS & SL can be set either in your computer or the broker server. If set in your computer, then u must online to maintain the SL/TS. If set in the server, then no need to online. As far as I remember, Marketiva set TS/SL in their server because I trade with them once and I leave my trade run with SL/TS and both are still valid when I check at cybercafe.

Better ask the broker for confrimation tho.

Thanks for the info. But, as I mentioned earlier, I'm referring to broker with MT4 platform, is Marketiva running on Mt4? No, rite? smile.gif
