setStopLoss / setTrailStop

[andreneoh]

Hi,

Is there a way to call setStopLoss / setTrailStop and set the price and / or ticks to be on a per contract basis if the trade has more than 1 contract? i.e. $500 (or 50 ticks) stop per contract.

Thanks

Hello andreneoh,

The quantity of SetStopLoss() and SetTrailStop() matches the quantity of the entry signal. You can link them together, by using a specific fromEntrySignal value.

SetStopLoss(string fromEntrySignal, CalculationMode mode, double value, bool simulated)

Please let us know if this doesn't answer your question.

Can I take this to mean that SetStopLoss ("string..*1contract", 500) will mean a stoploss of $500 while SetStopLoss ("string..*2contract", 500) means a stoploss of 2*500 = $1000?

There's no way to specify the quanity within the SetStopLoss method.

The quantity is set in the Enter method, and the stop loss and enter methods can be linked with the fromEntrySignal parameter.

SetStopLoss to Parabolic Sar value

How can we program a StopLoss = to ParabolicSar value ?

Welcome on the forums here - you could use the Price mode of the SetStopLoss and then use the PSAR as value.
