Hello All,

I am looking for the best way to have a trailing stop attach to a indicator automatically. Basically I want to enter a trade and have a trailing stop set to the amasupertrend indicator, hopefully with a offset. Currently I am entering a trade and then manually attaching the indicator to the stop but would like for this to happen through automation. What is the best way to approach this?

Thanks,
Mark

Amazing, I have the exact same question that I am searching for, to auto-attach you stop loss with the SuperTrendU11 (or any indicator per say).

Have you been able to get a solution on this yet?

You can do this easily from a Strategy using the SetStopLoss command:

SetStopLoss ("Long1", CalculationMode.Price, SuperInd.StopLine[0], false);
