I am trying to add the Wilson ATR trailing stop to the EXIT criteria for my Tradesim scan. The problem I have is that the Indicator requires a entry date so that it can calculate the stop from there on. Not sure how I can go about doing this, I really want a non returning stop to govern my exit. Any help would be brilliant. |

g'day I see no one has replied! Very sad, especially as I am facing the same problem. Did you by chance come up with the answer? Bye |

I want a simple 5% stop loss. I know nothing about coding. I tried simply typing: entryprice*.95 in the Exit tab and I also tried it in the Stops tab, but I get a TradeSim error: First index [200] > Last index [-1]. I have also spent hours trying to understand the TradeSim manual regarding Initial Stops but can’t get my head around it. My entries and exits show up perfectly in bullcharts when I code entryprice*.95 but TradeSim doesn’t like it. I’d really appreciate some help. |

You need to create an ATR indicator that doesn't need a start date and then use in your testing. I suggest you copy and modify the existing Wilson ATR trailing stop or you could have a look at the Jim Berg trailing stop which is also based on the ATR. |
