You say "it returns the profitability by quite bit" what this means?
Did the study have applied out of sample testing? walk foward testing? monte carlo?
Or they have just taken a overfitted system with and without trailing stop?
Systems with "lower" profitability doesn't mean a bad system at all. I prefer a system that gives 80% months on profit with low profitability in out of sample testing than a system that has profitability in the in sample (overfitted backtest).

Much respect, We know you doing the best work worldwide.
I still believe one day ea studio will have it, at least for the people who wants to spend some time testing and improving a strategy.

How are your experiences?
I've done my work and have spend some time developing strategies with trailing stop.
My conclusion is that it will produce a much better MFE for the strategy and months in profit in a long run.
The problem I face is that when I develop the trailing by my own I can't stress the strategy with Monte Carlo and use this awesome tool called ea-studio to do it.
