If you are asking for an expert or indicator then you need to make youre requirements including strategy are clear. If there are any subjective terms like sloping up or narrowing then either define them or be prepared to have the request ignored. For example, does sloping up mean 2 consecutive higher closing prices, a moving average that is greater than the moving average 17 bars earlier, what? And if you want to just say higher highs and higher lows how do you propose to identify the highs and lows. Requests linking published strategies are more likely to succeed. Your strategy and ideas for indicators will be visible to the public. That’s the price of entry. We may or may not use your request in a tutorial, or may use a variation, nothing is guaranteed here.

Adding trailing stops to your ScaleIn strategy

After watching your Scale In video, I implemented this in my EA. The EA is opening the trades successfully (thanks!). My problem is that my existing Trailing Stop code can't seem to handle these new orders, in that it just seems to not modify the SL at all for these orders. Since a trailing stop is set per ticket, I can't wrap my head around how I would have only one trailing stop for a collection of buy or sell orders that moves (up or down) as each new order is placed. My trailing stop code is called once per tick, and loops through all the orders. Each time it finds a buy order it will modify its stop loss based on high and low candles for a predetermined number of bars. With multiple buy orders it sets multiple stop losses when I really want only one stop loss for the collection of buys. I hope I have explained that well enough. Can you talk about how to apply trailing stops to all buy or sell orders using your Scale In strategy?
