StopTrail giving weird Results ....Probably

[zuj]

I am using

self.order_target_percent(d, target=self.perctarget, exectype=bt.Order.StopTrail, trailpercent=1)

for the stoptrail implementation. I checked the source code and I expected it to give me the same result that I get when I only use

self.order_target_percent(d, target=self.perctarget)

But I am getting very different results

without stoptrail trailpercent=1    143631.53
with stoptrail trailpercent=1       75766.57

I also got the same value without stoptrail, when I used stoptrail with trailpercent=0, but then I checked the source code and I saw that it is initialized with 0, so they are the same thing.

I still think that if I have a trailing stop with 100% distance then it should be pretty similar(IF NOT SAME) to the case without stopTrail. Am I missing something here?

@zuj Now I noticed that even setting trailpercent=0 gives similar but different results?????????

I figured it out. StopTrail doesn't work correctly with target orders.
