Please take a glance at the attached screenshot. Trailer did not initiate, what am I doing wrong here?

Goal is to step trail by .03 as soon as .03 profit is hit.

We are looking into this. We see what looks like a potential scenario where if the Profit Management did not fully trigger one day, the variables are not resetting into the next day and it may not work as expected.

So we are going to make sure it fully resets every day at the Global Settings >> General Trade Settings >>Daily Stats Reset Time which the Daily Profit/Loss resets at.

This is the only possibility of where there could be a potential problem. Or everything did work as expected, but really looking at it from our distant perspective, it really is hard to say. It is important we do some changes first and then reevaluate.

Sure thing. Please ping me with your progress, this is an intriguing concept. Have used the Global Profit/Loss with much success.

Currently Daily Stats Reset Time is set to 13:59:59 MST, which concludes the close of the US Equity market.

Also, can you please confirm that I have all the settings correct. Want to step trail by .03 once profit hits .03. Thx

We are just about done with the changes and they should be out over the weekend or next week. Yes these settings look correct.

But .03 is a very small amount. This is interpreted as an actual currency value.

Some changes have been made and have been released but there is still more work we need to do.

The the resetting of the profit management variables only occurs at midnight now.

Can you please check the log and attached screenshot. I did not see the trail functionality work when PnL reached .80.
Waiting for P/L < = = .00 for Flatten
should have been .40 when .80 was reached.

Profit management: Daily Net P/L = 0.40. Profit value of 0.40 has been met. Positions will be flattened when the Daily Net P/L <= 0.00. Trade account: DU273679 | 2017-09-22 11:10:19 *
Profit management: Daily Net P/L = 0.00. Profit value of 0.00 after initial trigger of 0.40, has been met. Flattening all Positions now. Trade account: DU273679 | 2017-09-22 11:11:09 *
Canceling orders for SPY and trade account DU273679 during Flatten Position operation. | 2017-09-22 11:11:09 *
Profit/Loss management: Trading is now locked until the next day according to the global time zone setting. | 2017-09-22 11:11:09 *

Please advise.

The trailing will not work because Trail Daily Net Profit >> Enable is not checked.
