Trailing stops om PRT platform

[DAVIDMCCULLOCH1983]

Hi

I am currently using PRT via IG for my trading and i wish to use the trailing stop function.  I do not seem to be able to add a trailing stop/trailing step function to my pending orders.  I get a response to say TS can only be applied to market orders and not working orders.  I know from previous use of MT4 that i was able to utilise an EA for this but just seeing if anyone has a work around for this issue as it does seem like it should be straight forward.

 

Thanks in advance

Hi @DAVIDMCCULLOCH1983,

Thank you for your post. 
It is not possible to place a Trailing stop on a working order the dealing logic won't allow it.

You can add a trailing stop while placing an order or once the position is open. You can have an EA to add trailing stop on open positions.

I hope that it helps.

All the best - Arvin
