Post From: How to initiate a Trailing Stop n ticks from market?

The attached child order would effectively act as a trailing stop loss.

Example:
Primary order: Trail.Stop Offset:6t
Child order: Trail.Stop Offset:4t (in other direction as the primary order)

Initiate primary Buy order at Market=100.00
=> Prim.Order= Stop Buy 101.50
Market goes down to 90.00
=> Prim.Order= Stop Buy 91.50
Market goes up to 91.50
=> Prim.Order filled (Inventory= +1) and Child Order= Stop Sell 90.50 activated
Market goes up to 95.00
=> Child Order= Stop Sell 94.00
Market goes down to 94.00
=> Child Order filled (Inventory=0)

Somewhat simplified, but illustrates what I want to achieve.

Is that what you described as "Trailing Target order"?
