The Dollar Trailing SX strategy is used to set a trailing stop to exit a short position when prices move up a specified number of dollars (in terms of either a total position or share/contract amount) from the lowest price since entry. This strategy uses a built-in stop that will exit within any bar (except the bar of entry) whenever the trailing stop amount is reached. This strategy will only generate an exit on a short position. | The Dollar Trailing SX strategy is used to set a trailing stop to exit a short position when prices move up a specified number of dollars (in terms of either a total position or share/contract amount) from the lowest price since entry.
