Is there any way in MC to have a trailing stop based solely on price movement rather than profit? As far as I understand, SetPercentTrailing will close a position if the profit drops by the specified %. So for example, if entry price = $10 and current price = $15, then profit = $5; a 20% trailing st...

Re: Creating mapping .sm files

I have ~10,000 symbols, and manually mapping each would take ~150 hours, not to mention requiring some serious physiotherapy on my hand afterwards! As a hack I have used Pulover's Screen Ma...
