How to enable cursor trailer effect on Macbook Pro with external monitor?

Is there a way to get a cursor trailer effect on my Macbook Pro? I recently added an external monitor and finding my cursor is a challenge sometimes. Thanks.

Not a cursor trailer effect, but location assistance:


System Settings... > Accessibility > Display.

Scroll down to find Pointer options: Size and "shake mouse pointer to locate".
