How do I set a Limit Order to sell at a specified price and add a Trailing Stop Loss to it in the deal ticket?

Hi, it would depend on which platform you are using and what type of asset, the share dealing platform doesn't have trailing stops and you need to put a stop in after the entry. On the spread bet and cfd platforms you can set up a trailing stop on the deal ticket but there may be restrictions if trading shares.

Thanks. I am using the share dealing platform. I had understood that a trailing stop could be added on this platform according to the IG Academy stuff, but perhaps it is my misunderstanding. May aim, obviously is to set a Limit Order and also a Stop Loss.
