    Stop loss break even

    In the sample on protecting the order position, it seems the stop loss break even is done using the Position.AvgFillPrice.. How is that different from basing it on the order's avg fill price? And if you were to do that wouldn't you set that in the OnExecution() event, rather than the OnbarUpdate() event?

    I'm trying to set it up so that the order itself has a stop loss breakeven based on itself.

    If your strategy only has one active entry at a time Position.AvgPrice is not different than order's avg fill price. Discrepancies can arise if you have two long entry orders both with filled positions. Then Position.AvgPrice becomes the avg price between those two orders.

    The reason it is in OnBarUpdate() is because I don't want a breakeven stop loss right when my entry order is filled. I want the breakeven after my position has gained some ticks in profit.
