Trailing Sell

Script from: TradingViewLongTermTrend followingMomentum

This strategy demonstrates how to execute a trailing sell. Upon an exit signal, rather than selling immediately, it follows the price upward for longs, selling when the price drops by a small percentage. The order executes when the next bar closes. It may slightly increase profits. Improvements include using stop orders instead of market orders for trailing and refining entry/exit signal handling, among other updates.
