[R-SIG-Finance] quantstrat - trailingStop offsets?

Good morning,
   Base question: Are there any quantstrat examples showing how to set
a minimum profit target before a trailing stop kicks in?

   For example, for a risk stop of 5% and a trailing stop of 3%, I
don't want to the trailing stop to be executed until I have met a
minimum profit of at least 2% resulting in a maximum approximate loss
of 1% if the trailing stop executes.

   I don't see anything in addOrder to do that but I suspect there's
someway to handle it.

Thanks,
Mark
