Trailing stop missed

Dear Mark Fric,

I attached two strategies where I found a issue: in these strategies 1) there is not stop loss required 2) there is only trailing stop, but without the minimum activation thresold: the trailing stop should make a stop loss immediately when the order is executed, and lift the stop when there are some pip gained. On the contrary, as you can see in the pictures, there are not the stop loss.

Could you fix it, please?
Thank you,
Giuseppe Piloni

the logic of trailing stop is that it is activated on Trailing Activation. If Trailing Activation level is not used then Trailing stop is activated only after PL >= 0.

Trailing Stop is an addition, not a replacement for a Stop Loss

If trailing stop would be an addition, when we select the trailing, the stop loss should become required in the platform, otherwise it seems that the trailing works even without stop loss.

So, ok this is not a bug, but it becomes the request of a modification: could you take into account to activate the trailing even with PL<0, please?

Thank you,
