I'm having trouble with this strategy/stop-trailer. It worked a few days ago and trailed my stop just fine but in the last two days it has said "Stop creation failed because command is disabled". Is there anything I'm doing because all I am doing is selecting the timeframe and bid/ask putting in the indent and selecting the trade to trail. I really, really need this for my systems to work while I'm away it is a invaluable tool in my arsenal. Could it be that I have a U.S. F.I.F.O account?

Please make this strategy compatible with FIFO accounts.

does the number specified allow to trail by a fractal of X numbers behind? or only the current fractal?

This parameter defines the algorithm for the detection of fractals.
For example, 5 is the standard TS fractal.

Fractal Technical Indicator it is a series of at least five successive bars, with the highest HIGH in the middle, and two lower HIGHs on both sides. The reversing set is a series of at least five successive bars, with the lowest LOW in the middle, and two higher LOWs on both sides, which correlates to the sell fractal.

Strategy use a last fractal for trailing.

Is it possible to have an option to choose the fractal number? I know 5 is the standard but would love to have an option to increase it to something like 7 or 9 or even go lower to 3.
