Tr.Stop (Trailing Stop)

Indicates the Trailing Stop Distance (in pips).

Trailing Stop works as follows: If the market price moves UP for a Buy position/DOWN for a Sell position, then the Trailing Stop moves with the market price, following it at the pre-set distance. If the market price moves DOWN for a Buy position/UP for a Sell position, then the Trailing Stop remains fixed and, if the market price reaches the Trailing Stop price, the order will be executed.

 

Predef. Stop

Predef. Limit

Shows the predefined limit for the entry order. This pre-set limit will become an actual Limit after the parent Entry Order is triggered and executed.
