What happens when you try? I think there has been no response because not many people (or no one) use it like this.

I'm fairly sure there has to be a cut off at either end of the price scale. So my guess is setting up this kind of trailing stop is not possible as you would just get stopped straight away.

Also, are you planning to use this in-running? Experience tells me using stops in running on horse racing leads to a world of pain as the price is just too volatile.

I tried different settings but it always backs at 1.01. It would be useful in markets where there is lay price around 1,03 to have it run say to 1,12 but I still would like to have trailing stop if price goes lower again.
