Trailing stop script

New comment
 
Hello, I am new to MT4/5 and know next to nothing about scripts, for my strategy I require a trailing stop and would like one automatically entered each time I open a position, I'm thinking usually there is something I need to copy and paste somewhere, can anyone help this n00b?

Thank you

Thanks for the file..

So how do I load this into Metatrader and get it running? any instructions?

The link you gave me doesn't explain the basics of how to do it, just the details for pro's of which aren't neccesary at this point in time.



Edit: I think I may just go with cTrader, I'm not the coding type.
