Hi there,

New to FF & forex (only paper trading at the mo) and have to say I’m glad I found this site, excellent and very informative.

Recently installed MetaTrader 4 and getting to grips with it, I would like to overlay a trailing stop loss indicator for long & short positions just as a visual reference on the charts, is this possible and if so could someone please post the code.

Thanks in advance

I am considering programming my own indicators. Should I code for MT4 or MT5?
