Why is this fixed proctective stop loss not working?

All flag setting calls should be placed after a call to the Initialization routine otherwise the default values will be set.

Try changing the code to this:-

...
ExtFml( "TradeSim.Initialize");
ExtFml( "TradeSim.EnableProtectiveStop",0);
ExtFml( "TradeSim.EnableDelayOfEntryByOneBar");
...

I'm really a NON programmer who is slowly being forced to learn more as I acquire these various tools. My Fixed stop losses are now up and running.

Now that I'm through that, perhaps I can advance to other stop losses without crying for help.

Don't be afraid to ask questions even if you think they might be trivial because this can benefit others who might be a bit intimidated.
