Hello joemiller,

The ProfitTarget uses the User Defined Input 'ProfitGoal'.
The StopLoss uses a hard coded value of 32.

Thanks Chelsea, that fixed my problem.

Another help request please ...

I want to test for having been stopped out of a position and then to take an action, but I don't see how to do it In the Strategy Wizard Conditions and Actions window. If it's possible to test for ''stopped out'' how do I do so?

Hello joemiller,

You can detect that the position is flat.
In the Condition Builder on the left select Strategy -> MarketPosition, select == in the operator in the center, select Strategy -> Flat on the right.

If you want to detect if a specific order has filled, you would need to do this in OnOrderUpdate or OnExecution which cannot be done with the strategy wizard.
