Hi, I created an EA with a trailing stop of 42 points and I would like some clarification:

1) The trailing stop is triggered when you complete the bar or at the bar?
2) What price must reach for you to activate the trailing stop? For example, if I buy at 10700 with a trailing stop of 42 what price should reach for you to take action?

Thank You

The user guide shows the variables to manage trailing stops, you can trigger by bars, ticks, or every n minutes
There are many sites that explain how trailing works with better examples that the ones we can provide here
