Hi Ellen,

Petko doesn’t normally use trailing stops so the FTMO EAs do not use them.  He had tested trailing stops over a long period of time and did not see any benefit from using them.  Petko prefers to use a fixed Stop Loss and a fixed Take Profit.  In the FTMO EAs he has set the Stop Loss to 80 pips and the Take Profit to 45 pips.
