The stop loss is always installed in the trailing stop so it is not a combination but already in one package and automatically, we only need to give the stop loss distance.

I rarely use a trailing stop so I don't know a good formula to combine a trailing stop with a stop loss.

In my opinion, the use of trailing stop and stop loss does not have a specific formula.
It's just that stop losses are an important part of risk management, and trailing stops are only optional, which can be used if you want to limit the profit you have gotten.

stop loss and trailing stop are a good combination of trading strategies because they can be optimized according to the needs and trading styles that we use.

trailing stop is a complete package consisting of stop loss and profit target which we can set and will move automatically so there is no need for manual stop loss.

The combination of a trailing stop and a stop loss cannot be combined because in the trailing stop itself there is already a stop loss, so the trailing stop is a development of the stop loss strategy.

in the trailing stop there is already a stop loss so there is no need to put a stop loss again. trailling stop is usually used when trending to maximize target profit without limits.

It would be great if a stop loss was combined with a trailing stop because stop loss is a part of risk management and is combined with a profit target strategy.

We need to know that stop losses and trailing stops are part of trading money, there are ways to use them and not carelessly.
The count must be precise so that the stop loss & trailing stop used is profitable and not detrimental.

The stop loss itself is actually included in the trailing stop so it cannot be said to be a combination because the trailing stop is a stop loss that is more measurable and can be adjusted.
