I would like to know how to set a percentage trailing stop loss. Example: £10,000 account Buy Corning (GLW) Buy up to price: $35.30 per share. Stop Loss: 30% trailing stop Position size: Up to 2.5% How do I apply the 30% trailing stop loss? Thanks, Chris

Though the same logic would apply, if you wish to set a pending order, depending on the direction - just click on either sell or by more. @chriscurwen We’ll try to completely eliminate this criterion bef…
