Set StopLoss as SenkouSpanB

[josefo]

Hello,

I want to set the stoploss as the Ichimoku Line SenkouSpanB, after some bars; maintein the original StopLoss, and then change it into the new SenkouSpanB. When I do it doesn't work, or if it works, the original stoploss dissapear.

I have this logic:

if (Bars.FirstBarOfSession == true)

Variable1 = IchiCloud(8, 22, 44).SenkouSpanB[0];

if (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Flat
&& Close[1] > SMA(SMALengh)[1]
&& Close[0] < SMA(SMALengh)[0]
&& Close[0] < IchiCloud(8, 22, 44).SenkouSpanA[0]
&& Close[0] < IchiCloud(8, 22, 44).SenkouSpanB[0])
{
EnterShort(1, "");
SetStopLoss("", CalculationMode.Ticks, 5, false);
SetProfitTarget("", CalculationMode.Ticks, ProfitTarget);


}
if (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Short)

SetStopLoss("", CalculationMode.Price, Variable1, false);

Hello josefo,

Thank you for your inquiry.

The code you have provided will immediately change your original stop loss to a price set in Variable1 once you are in a short position.

When your if condition to EnterShort becomes true, the strategy submits a short order and sets the initial stop loss and profit target. But, it'll be modified soon after because of the next if condition. When the strategy is in a short position, the stop loss will be modified to move to a price set in Variable1.

If you wish to maintain the original stop loss after n amount of bars, you can utilize BarsSinceEntry(): http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...sinceentry.htm
