You can also duplicate and delay the stroke layer by 1 frame and then use track matte to only reveal the tip of the stroke.

To apply a trail to the stroke, I would first motion track the tip of the stroke and then apply the motion to a light layer.
Finally set Trapcode Particular to emit particles from the light layer to get the trail.
