Is it possible to only send out a trailing order only after a price profit condition is met and remain active even after profit fallback lower than the profit condition?

For example, I only want the trailing order to be active after I get a 20 ticks profit and remind active even when price fall back to less than 20 tick profit.

Long Entry: $50.00
Trailing only start after price hit $50.20.

I want the trailing stop to remains active even after price go lower than $50.20

I have this AND condition. But this become false when C3 [high] on a new bar is less than $50.20
=AND($J$8>0, C3>$J$9+0.20, A3>$J$42, D3<(MIN(D4, D5) - 0.03))

It can be done using the Trade Management By Study study, referencing a Formula Column (subgraph) on the spreadsheet, with a formula that is 0 before price moves to 50.20, and contains the trail stop price thereafter.

Here's how to return the persistent max high since the entry bar, e.g. in U3:

=IF(K3,MAX(C3,INDEX(C3:C1002,NMATCH(1,1,K3:K1002,0),1)),IF(M3,0,U4))

You will need to use more than one Formula Column to accomplish what you need.
