Hi,
after entering the command "SetSimStop(_StopTrailing, _Point, 7*atr(20), 1);" in my strategy over 90% of the trades were closed after 1 day.
This can't be correct for a trend following system.
Any suggestions ?
Regards

Please make sure that the positions are closed because of the trailing stop. You can remove that line or update (7*atr(20)) to a very high number to see if there is any difference.

Hi,
if the SetSimStop Line was suspended, the simulator displays 4 or 5 open positions (may be ok).
if the SetSimStop Line is active there were 200-300 positions closed afer 1 day
the code for demonstration:
SetSimStop(_StopTrailing, _Point, 7*atr(20),1);
BuyRule = (close) > (Sma(20));
buy = BuyRule;

Regards

Please double check that you do not have any other sell or stop rule.
Try with 100*7*atr(20) like suggested. Are you trading futures?
Try with a new empty trading system.

If you need more help regarding this, please send us your trading system (Help -> Trading Object Paths) by email to support.

I tried it with a new created strategy and the 100*7*atr(20), it doesn't change much.
I trade the DOW-Stocks in the period 01.01.2012-14.12.2016, no futures.
No other rules !
I send a description to the support, butI see no option to add the trading object.

Regards

Trading financial instruments, including foreign exchange on margin, carries a high level of risk and is not suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to invest in financial instruments or foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with trading and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.
