How can I get the trailing stop to continue after it has been breached ?

If the price action has moved to breach the trailing stop, the trailing stop will stop at that point.

There may be a case in reality where you want the trade to continue.

Simply draw another PTP calculation tool on the bar following the breach, or the breach bar itself.
Then delete the new 'Entry' and 'Scalp' Lines.

For completeness to get the 'Current Profit/Risk' figure to show on the original 'Entry Price' line, delete the original 'Trailing Stop' and adjust the original 'Initial Stop' to ensure it makes it past the breach point.

This method can also be used to change the trailing stop during a trade.
