instrument pairs, PSar stop

[sosMsos]

Hi,
1. what code do i need to define instrument pairs?
(I.e. if retail leads SPY, enter long.....)

2. I wanted to use a Parabolic Sar Trail Stop, but this might not the way to build it:
SetTrailStop("",CalculationMode.Ticks,(ParabolicSA R(0.02, 0.2, 0.02)[0]);

Hello,

Thanks for the forum post.

This unfortunately would require multi series programming to bring in the secondary data point which would be the other instrument. How to do this is detailed here.

On your secont question you wouldnt use SetTrailStop() you would instead use SetStopLoss() then set it to CalculationMode.Price and add in the indicator output as the price. Then you will want to use this sample code to constantly update it and move the stop up when the SAR tightens.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

How would i do that to set indicator output as price?

I did that so far but get error message "overload"
SetStopLoss("",CalculationMode.Price, (ParabolicSAR(0.02, 0.2, 0.02)[0]));

You have too many parameters for this overload of SetStopLoss().

Try this instead:

SetStopLoss(CalculationMode.Price, (ParabolicSAR(0.02, 0.2, 0.02)[0]));
