And about trailing stops not working once you close the platform, that's a real bummer. That problem doesn't happen with t/p's or regular s/l's, does it?

Take profits and stop losses are still good when platform is closed. Only trailing stops are not honored when you close your platform. Just remember to account for the spread when selecting your take profits and stop losses. I'd hate for a pip or two to cost you tons of money in the long run.
