Adjusting ExitLongStop after a certain amount of ticks

[akonkol2]

Trying to adjust the stop once the price reaches a certain amount of ticks above the entry. The Breakeven stop never gets triggered though


EnterLong(DefaultQuantity,"Entry");
PT = (Close[0]+ATR(20)[0]*10.00);
SL = (Close[0]-ATR(20)[0]*3.00);
POS = (GetCurrentBid(0) + (35 * TickSize));
Print(POS.ToString());
Print(Position.AvgPrice.ToString());

Profx = 0;
}
// Exits
if (PT_ON == 1 && Long_on == 1) { ExitLongLimit(PT,"PTx",""); }
if (Position.AvgPrice > 0 && High[0] > POS && Long_on == 1) { ExitLongStop(POS - (35 * TickSize),"Breakeven",""); }
else if (SL_ON == 1 && Long_on == 1) { ExitLongStop(SL,"SLx",""); }

Hello akonkol2,

Thank you for your post.

Do you receive any errors or messages in the log when the order should move? If so, what do these messages report?

I would recommend enabling Trace Orders in the strategy and tracking the orders in the Output window. You can find more details on Trace Orders at the following link: http://ninjatrader.com/support/forum...ead.php?t=3627

I look forward to your response.

Here is the last output of the trace. The high during this long was 5918.75 which is above the 5913.75. This should move the stop from 5899.25 to 5905 but it doesnt it keeps the 5899.25 stop price.

Hello akonkol2,

Thank you for your patience.

If you print out the PT and compare it against the POS is the POS at a lower value? In my tests the POS was always higher than the PT and therefore never triggered.

I look forward to your response.
