Trailing Stop Without a Profit Target?

Is it possible to set a trailing stop without a profit target using a stop order to enter the trade? I have watched a couple YouTube windows to get the gist of how to set up orders on the Trade Window however it looks like things have changed since those videos were posted. On the YouTube videos I watched the Trade Window has an area to select Auto, and manually input the Profit, Stop loss, Distance, and Breakeven+. I don't see these options on the Trade Window with the current version of Sierra Chart. Where do I input these options now that the Trade Window has changed?

It sounds like you are watching a video which is not about Sierra Chart.

Yes you can do what you want. You just simply do not add a Target order. Just a Trailing Stop order. Instructions:

If there is already a Target order listed on the Targets tab of the Trade Window, simply Remove it.
