Adding Trailing Stop to MA Crossover Strategy

[edorion]

Hi,

I am trying to add a trailing stop to the MA Crossover Strategy script. I am extremely new to coding so have tried a few things but am not succeeding. The SampleMACrossOver code is below. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks for the code. I'm trying to figure out how to put my code into the one you sent. Can you help me there?

public class SampleMACrossOver : Strategy
{

private SMA smaFast;
private SMA smaSlow;
private x;
where 'private x' is added as part of the modification.

Hi,

I'm looking for a trailing stop strategy that stops out below the low of previous bar (for a long). I assume this exists somewhere. If so, could you please help point me in the right direction?

Thanks!
