Hello @Mike,

Thank you for your question on trailing stops.

At this time you will find this feature located in the OE - Order Entry panel or DOM - Depth of Market.

Before you enter your trade, you would want to “pre-configure” the stop loss leg of your order. As you can see in the image below, when you enable the stop loss leg, we have added a new button for trailing orders.

If the Trailing order button is enabled upon order entry, the stop-loss leg will change behind the price when it goes into the profit zone. If the price goes to the stop-loss, it will remain at its level.

The numbers that you configure here represent ticks. 1 ticks = a quarter-point and 4 ticks = One full point.

As you can see we added trailing stops to the following section of the DOM panel as well:

I hope this helps!
