Trailing Stops

How can we install a trailing stop utility that will run without closing the EA that is running ?

Open a second chart and put your trailing stop EA on it.

Wow...

That will definitely work but it's a hassle to do that on every chart.

Maximum one Expert Advisor, one script and unlimited number of indicators can operate in one chart.

So if you write your trailing stop utility as a script, you can keep your EA running.

Not sure if this is true on MT4.

Two EA's with One Several EAs on one Delay Script

Or run 1 EA which will trail the orders (all symbols).
