This is a question about the short side of the trailing stop example in the EA Wizard.

I think that it is correct,  but it will not run on the MT4 Strategy Tester,  and the metaeditor shows 45 errors.

 

Please take a look.

 

Thank you

Make sure you have all custom indicators copied into MetaTrader and check your magic numbers. You actually need only two magic numbers – one for long and the other for short side. I see you used more than two magics

Thank you tomas262.  I am interested in using the ” Trailing Stop to lowest low ” in the SQ Wizard home page,  but got stuck doing the Short part. Would the condition be

 

((Highest (barsback) [1]  + convert to real pips ( trailing stop offset)) less than Order SL ?

 

 

 

thank you again

it seems correct, check your magic numbers too. you should only use 2 of them. One (1000) for long trades and another (2000 for example) for short trades. This way your trail will probably won’t work
