As you can see every time the long fired immediately the trade stopped out. On the orders tab all the details: after a long entry immediately two trades are fired: one stop loss sell and one target buy which is cancelled.

Could you please explain why this simle code with these parameters behave like this:

Thank you.

Hi,

meantime I debugged the code and found the Convert.ToDouble(this.stopLoss / 100) returns 0 instead of 0.2. I have edited the code to use Ticks and it is working now but after the compilation of the code I had to restarted the strategy analyser to use the new code.

Hello mmiterli,

Thank you for your post.

What value are the variables stopLoss and profitTarget set to?

[mmiterli]

As you can see on the first link profit target 1, stoploss 2. (%), the return values should be 0.01, 0.02. Printf printed zero.

I have changed the code to use the Ticks instead of percentage on Calciulation Mode for SetStopLoss and SetProfitTarget, emitted the type conversion and it is worked. See the last link for the code.
