Hello can anybody tell me where can I see an example on how to program (in a trading system) a trailing stop order using ACSIL, because all the examples in the files only have attached order examples.

Thank you very much

Here is the example:
    {

      // Trailing stop order. This has no Attached Orders.
      // The trailing offset is the difference between the current market price for the Symbol of the chart the trading study is applied to
      // and the price set by NewOrder.Price1

      // Create an s_SCNewOrder object.
      s_SCNewOrder NewOrder;
      NewOrder.OrderQuantity = 2;
      NewOrder.OrderType = SCT_ORDERTYPE_TRAILING_STOP;
      NewOrder.Price1 = sc.BaseData[SC_LAST][sc.Index] - 10*sc.TickSize;
      sc.SellOrder(NewOrder);
    }
