I have two questions about how CloseAtTrailingStop works:
1. Does CloseAtTrailingStop use the previous day’s bar (OHLCV) to calculate a fixed stop price and then place a stop order that does not update intraday as the market moves? In other words, once the stop price is set, it stays static until the next bar (next signal)?
2. In live trading, is the behavior the same as above?
I’m asking because brokers like IBKR handle trailing stops differently—they adjust continuously based on real-time price changes. Just want to confirm the intended behavior. Thanks.
