The way it works, leakage stop will be do stoploss you continue to rise closer to the current price in pips distance when mounted on the BUY position. And the trailing stop will stoploss continue to move downwards when mounted on a SELL position.
So if put trailing stop stoploss well was intact, the result is always the advantage because stoplossnya exceeded the opening price of the position.
for example, you open Buy EUR / USD at 1.2500 price by TakeProfit at 1.2550. Then you put a trailing stop. So when a buy position, you profit, automatic Stop Loss turn with the rising price of EUR / USD.
For example, the price reached 1.2548 (slightly longer take profit hit), but then down, then the price will be intercepted by Stop Loss has been lagging. Thus, although the results remain intact profit Stoploss for stoplossnya value is already greater than the Buy position opening price.
