Trailing Stop Loss Thresholds

[desoss]

Hello,
I am trying to configure a trailing stop loss in MetaAPI such that when the price moves to my target direction, the stop loss moves to breakeven and remains there.

However, based on the current configuration, it seems that the stop loss is adjusting multiple times.

Here is my current configuration for the trailing stop loss:

{
	threshold: {
		thresholds: [
			{
				threshold: 1,
				stopLoss: 1
			}
		],
		units: Units.RELATIVE_PRICE,
		stopPriceBase: StopPriceBases.CURRENT_PRICE
	}
}

My expectation is for the stop loss to move to breakeven only after the price moves 1 "relative price" in my target direction and to stay at breakeven. However, it seems that the stop loss is being adjusted multiple times, not just when it's moved to breakeven.

Could you please confirm if this is the intended behaviour and if there’s a way to configure it so that the stop loss only moves to breakeven after a 1 "relative price" move, without further adjustments?

Thank you for your help!

I have noticed a similar issue. I ended up writing my own price monitor to adjust the stops reliably. However, it would be great if the core implementation is as expected.

We've updated our documentation related to trailing stop loss and conducted extra testing. We think that likelihood of bugs in our trailing stops loss implementation should be low at this point.

It is available both in SDK in-code docs and html docs https://metaapi.cloud/docs/client/models/trailingStopLoss/

Thus we'll be closing this issue now. If you still need assistance on this ticket feel free to reopen it.
