check symbol strategy is appied to

[nico_p]

Hi

I'm developing a strategy I'd like to use on different Forex pairs
in order to set my stoploss order on a short position I need to know the spread of this pair the strategy is applied to
(long positions don't have this problem as forex prices are bid driven)

AtmStrategyChangeStopTarget(0, High[2] + XXX * TickSize, "STOP1", atmStrategyId);

the XXX in the line above should present the spread of the pair the strtegy is applied to

example: for eur/usd 3 ticks spread XXX = 3
gbp/jpy 9 ticks spread XXX = 9
.....

Could you please help me with some code on how to check what symbol the strategy is applied to
so I can define the appropriate stoploss offset

Thank you very much

Hi,

I don't seem to get this problem solved,
In the Initialize part of my code I put :

if (Instrument != null && Instrument.FullName == "EURUSD")
{
int spread = 3;
}

Later in the code I'm trying to get this 'spread' variable included in the next line, but I keep getting the error message,
"The name 'spread' does not exist in the current context

AtmStrategyChangeStopTarget(0, High[2] + spread * TickSize, "STOP1", atmStrategyIdLong2);


Any help is much appreciated

This is a C# programming issue. Please consult the relevant Microsoft documents for how to correctly code in C#.

Hint: You declared a variable "spread" within the scope of your "if" statement. As soon as you leave this scope it no longer will be there. You would need to make it a class variable (see "Variables" region).
