Thanks for the help. This feature makes more sense now, though I'm not sure it's possible to say "Hey, trailing stop, just try and keep half of the gain on this trade" so that might require manual intervention.

Cool. So to verify my understanding: Let's say I'm placing a buy order and I want to attach a trailing stop to it. The stock is purchased at $100 even. If I go into Strategy Parameters for the trailing stop loss and set: Amount of profit to 25 ticks Stop Loss to 0.5% then the expected behavior is th...

For "percentage" in the left-hand field, does that refer to profit on the position? For the Stop loss, is that in reference to potential pr...

Is "0.1%" and "50%" a set of parameters that even makes sense? Should it be working? There's no documentation on this that I can find so I'm gue...

This feature works in simple scenarios like this one: Amount of Profit : 20 ticks Stop Loss : 10 ticks Works just like you'd expect, and as you'd expect I get stopped out of longer moves on minor pullbacks.
