SetStopLoss()

["CJS"]

Hi,

Sometimes the SetStopLoss is send even when the condition is not meet.
I have used the Print() funtion and the strategy do not enter into the block of code in bold, but for some reason the SL is send anyway.

Any Clue why is happening?

I use daily bars

Thanls a lot


if (Position.MarketPosition==MarketPosition.Flat)
{
if (GAP_Up==true)
{
EnterShort();
SetProfitTarget(CalculationMode.Price,TP_Level);

if (Low[-1]>Close[0])
{
SetStopLoss(CalculationMode.Ticks,SL_Level);
}

GAP_Up=false;

}


}

Hi CJS,

Set statements will use the last value that is set. If this condition occurs once, then that is the value used for SetStopLoss unless you set a different value.

If you want to conditionally send a stop order, ExitLongStop() and ExitShortStop() are better for this.

}

Emphasis mine. Low[-1] is meaningless in NinjaScript, and is probably causing an unpredictable error.

Hi,

Koganam

I now that. Cose I use daily bars for this backtest, I look at the futures bars in order not to entry one day after I want. I asure you that this is normal and really useful.

That is not the problem.

Thanks for reading my post and try to help me.
