MultiCharts: Trading Software for Automated Trading and Backtesting

Hello,

Is it possible to use trailing stop of one symbas as indicator of another symbol?

I found when I run a trailing stop on one symbol A, when the trailing stop order is triggerd, it is also useful an indicator of exiting symbol B. But I wonder if we can code this in power language.
Usually we make symbol A as data 2 and use indicator of data2 as indicator of data1( Symbol B).

But can we use the trigger point of DollarTraing(DollarT) of data 2 as indicator of data1?
As far as I know we cannot trade on data 2 so no trigger point of data 2 can be calculated.

Any good idea?

thanks.

Code: Select all

Workspace on Symbol A
Buy 100 shares next bar at market ;
SetStopPosition;
SetDollarTrailing(DollarT);

if you want to pass data (info) between charts,
do a search for ADE (All Data Everywhere).

Hello,TJ,

Thanks, it seems to be the way to do it.
Is it easier to use default Global variable than using ADE?

Just want to know your opinion.

thanks.
