    Does SetStopLoss() override SetTrailStop()?

    Question about strategy order method execution.

    I have a SetTrailStop($400) in my OnExecution() section.

    If I reach $400 in profit, In my OnBarUpdate() section, I have a SetStopLoss(CalculationMode.Price, Position.AvgPrice) that sets the stop loss to Break even.

    Are both SetTrailStop() and SetStopLoss() active?

    At this point, I only want the SetStopLoss() to keep working.

    Regards,
    R. C.

    Hello R. C.,

    From the help guide:
    "Notes
    The SetStopLoss() method can NOT be used concurrently with the SetTrailStop() or SetParabolicStop() method for the same position, if any methods are called for the same position (fromEntrySignal) the SetStopLoss() will always take precedence. You can however, use all three methods in the same strategy if they reference different signal names.​"
