Metatrader vs. Saxobank Trailing stop

Hello fellow traders ,

I have just a short question about trailing stop in Saxobank's Saxotrader 2 i comparison to Metatrader 4.
In Metatrader you just right click on the order and put in a trailing stop (ex.15 points) and then you have a trailing stop on that order.
In Saxotrader 2 you have also a trailing stop but different ones. There is a "trailing stop", "trailing stop bid" and "trailing stop ask" and then there is further more a distance to the market price (ex. 15 points) and trailing step (min. one pip).
Now my question is maybe strange but I have been using saxotrader until I found a more delicate trading strategy and then I started using Metatrader for the strategy and then excute my orders on the saxotrader.
My question is which kind of trailing stop is in metatrader and what is the trailing step in metatrader ?.

Kindly regards

The trailing stop in Metatrader is very simple.

Let's say you went long in the EUR/USD at 1.2500 with a stop at 1.2450. You apply a trailing stop of 20 pips. What happens? As long as the EUR/USD is below 1.2520 your original stop remains at 1.2450. If the EUR/USD reaches 1.2520 your trailing stop is activated and set to 1.2500.

So you must be always the same amount of pips in the plus like the trailing stop is before it gets activated...

Hello Xaron,

Thank you for the reply regarding the trailing in metatrader.
Now I have found out of the different trailing stop in saxotrader 2.
The problem is now to set this one up correctly.
I believe I get brought out of the market way to fast compared to what metatrader does. In the metatrader I don't set a stop.. I just put on a trailing of 15 points and it works like a cham.
So I put in a order of entry, exit and trailing of 15 points.
So my problem is now is the default distance to the market and the trailing step in metatrader, default by the order I mentioned ?.

Kindly regards
