[Newbie] No trailing stop used after using the generator

 

I'm just starting to explore MQL5, and I created a simple EA using the generator. I want each trade to have a trailing stop, so I included the Fixed Trailing Stop class. Now, when a new trade is made using the EA, no trailing stops are set, am I missing something?

Also, as I'm so new, I'm confused how the concept of signals affects the EA. Am I right in assuming that the terminal responds to the EA, and not the signal as such, and the CExpert class that is used in the sample code should be extended if additional logic is to be used before sending a trade signal?

Also, do I need to set EveryTick to true, or is it true by default?

Thanks
