Hello, I’m wondering if Trail stop loss gives false result like Trailing take profit(which is already disabled for backtesting). I’ll test out more to see if the calculation is correct. Thanks.

There is always a possibility of false results as a backtest is just some simulation not the real thing.

The reason why we disable it for TP is because people tend to use it with small %, and in this case is highly inaccurate. Trailing SL usually have more margin and the results are more accurate, however I recommend to use 1m candle data not 4H.
