Hi guys, thank you. As simple as it is, I’m not able to get this to execute properly. I just need a custom trailing stop to automatically sell once the low crosses (below) a moving average.

Simple question, simple answer. Two screenshots demonstrate how this is setup in the Condition Wizard. The order will need to be a sell order. The price rules will need to be set to MARKET. Always practice using PaperMoney and/or Study Alerts before applying to a live account. User assumes all risk associated with using this solution. Attachments:

I tried these exact parameters on thinkorswim on three different trades and it didn’t execute any of them. I’m not sure why it’s so stubborn.
You were sure to adjust the price rules?
From my answer: “The price rules will need to be set to MARKET”.
The price rules default to limit. This will cause the order to fail to execute until the limit price is touched. You must use a market order.
Hey thanks, it actually filled a few moments later.
