Does Sierra have fixed and dynamic trailing stops for forex? For example. One stop will move tick for tick with the market after stop has moved to breakeven and the other will keep locking in say 10 pips at a time. SO market has to move 10 pips to move stop up 10 pips. In dynamic, the market moves a pip, the stop moves a pip.
Thank you.

Could you tell me which one is which. Which one is a fixed amount and which one moves tic for tic. Will make it easy as there are quite a few and a bit confusing to me.
Thank you.

The trailing stops that have "Step" in their name, step in amounts greater than 1 Tick. The other trailing stops move tick by tick.

Thank you. I am still a little confused. Which two specifically do I use when I want to move stop to breakeven and then trail it pip for pip or in steps.
Thanks.
