The Percentage range stop loss tool calculates a fixed percentage from either the high or the low for the bar.

This tool works similarly to the ATR stop loss tool in that only greater or low values (depending on long or short) are used so that the trailing stop does not chase the market when its in reverse.


Usage

  1. Select the button for % Range Stop loss from the Toolbar.
  2. Move the mouse pointer over the starting position for the Line. This may be either a high or a low price.
  3. Press the left mouse button and the Stop Loss values will be calculated from that point forward.

Properties
The property editor as well as other functions may be accessed by holding the mouse pointer over the indicator line and Clicking the Right Mouse button. A popup menu will appear (see picture).

The user may then open the Indicator Property Editor, move the Line above or below other indicators or delete the Line from the Chart.

Property Editor
The property editor as well as other functions may be accessed by holding the mouse pointer over the indicator line and Clicking the Right Mouse button. You can also access the Property Editor directly by 'Double Clicking' on the line. All the drawing tools share the same property editor allowing the user to alter the following properties:
  • Line Color
  • Line Width
  • Toggle Line or Box display
  • Label Font.
After alteration, the user has the ability to set these settings as default for all future lines drawn on the page.
