Is there a way to set a trailing stop that adjusts to percent of profit, let's say 80%? For example, buy 3940 and it's at 3950, stop should be 3948 (.8*10). If it goes 3960, the stop should be 3956 (.8*20).

You can use the Trade Management by Study study and then base it on another study or studies that calculate the profit. Refer to the following: Attached Orders: Study Controlled Targets and Stops And it may be easiest to use the Spreadsheet Study for Trading to calculate the profitability of the trade. Refer to the following: Spreadsheet Systems, Alerts and Automated Trading For the most reliable, advanced, and zero cost futures order routing, use the Teton service: Sierra Chart Teton Futures Order Routing |
