DAS Trader advanced hotkeys part 15
Trail to anything stop orders with color indication
This is the enhanced and cleaned up version of what I did in the part 8 post. These stops work anytime as they are calling a regular limit order from your trading platform rather than submitting a stop order to your broker.
The goal is to have a trailing stop attached or trailed to an indicator or a value or any calculation. The color should help with determining the type of trail being enabled, in case you use more trailing stop types.
In the video above, you can see I have enabled 3 types of stops
the clicked stop
click to the chart to define the stop and enable it with the trigger button on the montage - blue button
PSAR trailing stop
follows the Parabolic SAR indicator, which is showing as the small yellow squares on the chart. It triggers with the yellow montage button
Previous candle body low trailing stop
follows the previous candle body low (or high for shorts) as a trailing stop
At this time I already assume you are pretty familiar with the chart update scripts and naming the indicators to get the values populated into the custom variables as indicated in the other posts.
