i am going to download this and work with it on a Demo to see what happens.
i like the idea of Entering Manually and have an Automated Trailing Stop.
Parabolic Sar would be ok with me.

Yes, you can do it via a strategy, but not via an ATM. ATM only supports price (tick) based movements, a strategy can do it though with anything you want.

Unfortunately, this also means your strategy needs to be placing the entry orders, or you can have a custom strategy created that places a buy or sell short button on your chart to 'manually' get you into a position, then have the strategy manage the trailing stop from the Parabolic SAR.

It's pretty advanced, so if you don't know already how to do it, I would say you need to hire it done most likely.

Big Mike where or who can do this Exact Programming you mention by way of Manually placing orders and then have an Automated Trailing Stop such as Parabolic Sar?
I am Very interested in just what you mentioned having Programmed, but do not know of any Good Programmers that could turn out a Reliable Program like this.
