Manual exit instead of stoploss

[CaptainAmericaXX]

Hello,
As part of my strategy I want to use a manual exit instead of a stoploss so I can tag my exit. My thought was to use this:
//Stoploss
if (Close[0] == Position.AvgPrice - 35 * TickSize)
{
ExitLong("Stoploss", "Long");
}
This works eventually, but the market actually moves past (sometimes very far past) the 35 ticks then as it comes back comes back the Exit may get filled. Sometimes price passes though that -35 spot many times.
Oh I got it! Close[0] has to equal that spot. Maybe I just have to say < instead of ==?
Sweet that did it!
I'll post this anyway. Maybe it will help someone else.
Thanks

Follow up on last post.
The problem with that idea is the stoploss is going to be more than 35 ticks because the bar has to close. I tried GetCurrentAsk() instead of Close[0], but that doesn't change anything.
Any suggestions on how to get the 35 tick stoploss without using SetStopLoss()?
Thanks

You can use ExitLongStop(), and specify the price you want the order submitted at. Anytime you access Position.AvgPrce, you should check that you are in a position or else this returns zero.

if (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Long)
ExitLongStop(Position.AvgPrice - 35 * TickSize);

Not unless you set CalculateOnBarClose to false. Remember the load that that puts on your resources.
