Hello,

I'm an absolutely beginner and learning to trade commodities. I have been having difficulties to execute the trailstoplimit order in the Thinkorswim platform. Pls help guide me through this. Thank you very much.

Sincerely,

I have used Trail Stop (not Trail Stop Limit) - unfortunately, it does not work well for me - especially for the dow.

Too volatile, and to overcome that, I need to set the TS too far off. I do my stops manually now.

If you still want to use TS or TSL, feel free to call them, they can remote login to your system and demonstrate that in real time.

Good luck.
