How do I get the current Stop Loss price?

[Jaba1n]

I adjust the Stop in OnBarUpdate() via SetStopLoss(). Is there any way to find out where it is at? OnOrderUpdate() triggers only when the stop moves...

Thanks
J

Jaba1n,

You would need to keep track of order objects here.

To clarify however, the OnBarUpdate() will update each closing of the bar or each tick depending on your CalculateOnBarClose setting.

AdamP thank you for your help.

Let's say that my strategy submits an OCO, then the computer crashes. How will I be able to retrieve the information on open orders from the live account? I'm sure I'm missing something obvious here.

Thanks again
J

OK, never mind, Found it. It took some digging though.

I have the same question, I looked around but could not find

I have SetStopLoss() calls in OnBarUpdate(). How do I know in run time where the stop is at ? It does not return an IOrder object (why not ? What am I missing here ?)

Thanks

tickling,

SetStopLoss() is used to set the value of the stop loss order that will be submitted when your entrance order is submitted. It doesn't return an iOrder object because one may not yet exist, since you may not have entered any position yet.

You can use "OnOrderUpdate()" to snag the stop loss order that is submitted.

Thanks Adam. Got it.

That is a terrible sample...nothing to do at all with what he is trying to do.

You guys can surely do better than that for stop order "catching".
