I am trading dax and minidax with demo account for now.

Is there a way to implement both fixed stoploss and trailing stop?
Stoploss should be 20 ticks from buy/sell price and trailing stop as optimal as it can be to keep profits running intraday or longer.

Any suggestions for offsets settings and types(ticks,price,%) from you experienced users?
Thanks

Did you want the fixed stop and trailing stop to be separate orders?

The idea is to use both if the trailing stop should fail. But I realized that that trailing stop cant go lower than ticks choosed at the beginning?

You cannot use two stops for this purpose.

It does not make any sense.

This is correct:
But I realized that that trailing stop cant go lower than ticks choosed at the beginning?
