    Stop loss vs trailing stop

    I saw in the help guide that The SetStopLoss() method can NOT be used concurrently with the SetTrailStop() method for the same position...
    But this is possible in ATM Stategy...
    So if in my code I use
    protectedoverridevoid Initialize()
    {
    SetStopLoss(CalculationMode.Percent, perstop);
    SetTrailStop(CalculationMode.Percent,
    2*perstop);

    CalculateOnBarClose =
    true;
    }
    it seems that SetStopLoss will take the precedence...
    So how to manage both orders like in the ATM Strategy?

    Unfortunately the helpguide is correct and you can't use them on the same position concurrently.

    You can either call an ATM template to manage the exit then, or you use the SetStopLoss and trail / change the price manually in your code as needed -



    To see a sample strategy calling ATM's, please consult the SampleAtmStrategy we have provided per default with NinjaTrader.
