Trailing stop

[traveler]

I put in an order to short the DOW last night. 28-29 May 2019. 

Initially I was in the red, but afterwards (when I fell to sleep) it went into the black. I had a target of 100 points. I achieved that and closed at a profit.

But I was wondering if I could put in an order with a trailing stop in this type of order?

Hi @traveler,  if it was an at market order on the 'Deal' ticket you can set a trailing stop by clicking on the arrow for the drop down box next to the set stop loss tab.

If you had set a resting order for entry from the 'Order' ticket you would need to wait for the order to be triggered and then set a trailing stop in a similar way in the 'Positions' tab.

to echo caseynotes - you'd need to wait until the order open to add the trailing stop. Unfortunately you can't add that option to orders.
