In the strategy builder. I am trying to figure out how to set up a moving stop. Basically, for example, let's say I have 100 tick profit target. I wan the stop to move to 25 when price reaches 50 ticks, then move to 50 ticks profit, when price moves to 75 ticks, then close out when price reaches 100. What exactly and where do I input that into the strategy builder?
I have searched all the help sections for parabolic, if that is even what I need? Those instructions are just not complete enough. For example, under "Acceleration", it just says "this is the acceleration value". What does that mean? Same thing for "max acceleration". It is the "max" for the acceleration (which is never explained...i/e, what is it, what value should be used (.1,1,1000, who knows).
I just want to move the stop in increments. Please tell me how to do that.
AND I had a weird thing happen. I am running a LIVE strategy on the micro just to experiment. I put the computer to sleep when I leave the office every night. When I arrived this morning, the chart literally has NO candles or executions during the time the computer was put to sleep. Does that make sense? Even IF the computer being put to sleep paused the strategy (is that correct btw?), how would any of that affect the candle display?
Thank you
