Trailing Entry Price Calculation Example

Assume the Above and High options are selected and the Percent value is 0.25%. Also assume the setup bar’s high value is 60.0

Example 1:

Assume that the Move Entry option is not selected. The trailing entry price would be:

60.0 * 1.025 = 61.5

If prices moved above 61.5, the entry condition would be met.

Example 2:

Assume that the Move Entry option is selected. The first trailing entry price would be:

60 * 1.025 = 61.5

If prices moved above 61.5 on the next bar, the entry condition would be met.

Let’s assume the next bar’s high is 61.0. The trailing entry condition has not been met, so the new trailing entry condition would be:

61 * 1.025 = 62.525

If prices moved above 62.525 on the next bar, the entry condition would be met; otherwise Investigator would re-calculate the trailing entry value until either the entry condition is met or until the And Then Within value is met.
