Trailing STOP loss when offline
24 Feb 2020, 00:20


Hi,

I want to understand better regarding Trailng Stop loss. I know Trailing stop loss works as long as the desktop client is running. now lets look at the below scenario.

 

i setup a trailing stop loss of 100 pips after a few hours the trailing stoploss trailed say +50pips higher  then suddenly my computer shuts down without me knowing i switch it back on hours later after finding out my computer went off. Now my question is during that period my computer was switched off would there have been a stoploss or not ? because my trailing stop woldnt work as pc was off. 

 

thanx

Hi globalblack,

Trailing stop loss works on the server side so it does not matter if your pc is turned on or off for it to work.
