Description

Expected Behavior

A trailing stop limit order is designed to allow an investor to specify a limit on the maximum possible loss, without setting a limit on the maximum possible gain. (source: https://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/index.php?f=606)

Should be implemented after #2580.

Research direction

Begin with prerequisite issue #2580, then review the Interactive Brokers specification linked in the body. The issue is done when Lean supports trailing stop limit orders according to that specification; the payload names no files or tests, so those must be identified first.
