Yes, I did the trailing stop as 1 pip...rookie mistake and I see the error in my ways, i have already seen 2 trades that would have went for +20 if I left it alone...so my fault (live and learn).
As of right now...I am having a "test of will". The Trader made a trade for me early monday morning. did a .1 lot of EUR/USD at 1.5383, then the market did a sky dive. I watched all day as my price was all the way down to -50. It has made a good comeback and seems to bounch between -30 and -20. I see 3 options at this point.
1 - (What I should do, considering this is a test) Do nothing and let the Trader figure it out.
2 - (What my impulses tell me). When it hits a -20, take the loss so the system can find me another trade (I have it set to do 1 trade at a time)
3 - (Be a bit Proactive) Make a few of my own trades, try to recover so I stay even, then it would hurt less to take that -20 or -30 loss....
