Post From: Simple trailing stop doesn't work for me

None of this is making any sense to us and it seems as though there is something seriously wrong with your trading system. It is going to be your responsibility to debug and resolve this.

For a proper functioning example, refer to the scsf_TradingExampleUsingReversals function in the /ACS_Source/TradingSystem CPP file provided with Sierra Chart.

Another thing, if you are using a trailing stop to enter the market, then that order is not going to fill right away. There will be no Position to reverse until such time that there is a Position established.

When using unmanaged automated trading, you are going to have a problem with a lot of accumulating orders. Inherently what you are doing is complicated.
