I just downloaded Wealthlab and used your strategy rule tool to program a 80 day breakout entry. Now I'm wondering how I can use the same tools to program a ATR based trailing stop for backtesting purposes. All I can find are % based trailingstops

I'm new to Wealthlab and this forum so any help would be much appreciated!!!

There are no ATR exits under the Trailing stop category, but it would be a good idea to add them to the Rules library.

However it's possible to program an ATR trailing stop in the Strategy code: see the QuickRef entry for HighestHighAsOfBar for an example.

Thanks for that...I suppose I have to start reading up on code so I can fill the strategy rule gaps in WL5.
