Instead of pressing the trailing loss manually near to the expected price level it would be better to specify exact price level where trailing should activated.
The "Trailing Stop" order type in TopstepX trails where you will ENTER the trade -- but that's not the same thing as a "Trailing Stop" as it exists on most platforms.
To my mind, a "Trailing Stop" will place an EXIT once you are in the trade, then trail it as the price moves. That is much more useful than trailing your entry.
SO can we have a proper Trailing Stoploss option?

on Tradovate I would use this to for entries and it was amazing
Have a trailing stop button (on/off) that will turn a stop loss into a trailing stop loss or turn a trailing stop loss into a typical stop loss. Maybe position it near the break even button.
