Trouble with stop loss in strategy

[kudos]

Using the stategy wizard I am not able to use the stop loss I would like to use. Such as the low -2 ticks of the entry candle. I have tried to edit the ninja script but have had no success

Hello Kudos,

Thank you for your post.

The syntax for this would be the following:

SetStopLoss(CalculationMode.Ticks, Low[0] - (2*TickSize));

For information on SetStopLoss() please visit the following link: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...etstoploss.htm
For information on TickSize please visit the following link: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...7/ticksize.htm

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.

Patrick Thank you for your reply

Testing the code in a very basic program it compiled just fine but it changed the program.. The test was a long only entry but now it goes short and long. The only part of code changed was the stop loss.

SetProfitTarget("long", CalculationMode.Ticks, 6);
SetStopLoss("long", CalculationMode.Ticks, 2, false);
Is what the wizard compiled. I changed the script to

SetProfitTarget("long", CalculationMode.Ticks, 6);
SetStopLoss("long", CalculationMode.Ticks, Low[0]-(2*TickSize), false);

The basic test with the wizard was if

low[0]<low[1]
and
close[0]>close[1]

go long and then profit of 6 nd the the stop loss
Thanks

Hello kudos,

Thank you for your response.

Did you change the strategy to now go short and long intentionally or the Stop Loss change has had this effect on the strategy?

I look forward to your response.

The only thing I did was change the stop loss in the editor
