Dollar Trailing LX (Strategy)
DisclaimerThe Dollar Trailing LX strategy is used to set a trailing stop to exit a long position when prices move down a specified number of dollars (in terms of either a total position or share/contract amount) from the highest price since entry.
This strategy uses a built-in stop that will exit within any bar (except the bar of entry) whenever the trailing stop amount is reached. For more information about dollar trailing exits, see Dollar Trailing.
This strategy will only generate an exit on a long position.
