ExitLongStop and ExitShortStop instead of SetStopLoss

[stefy]

I'm developing a strategy, and I need to use both SetStopLoss and SetTrailStop, but I know that's not possible in NT (on the same order).
I was thinking to substitute the use of SetTrailStop with ExitLongStop and ExitShortStop, using as Stop my trailing value. Is that possible? May I encounter any logic problems using ExitLongStop and ExitShortStop in the same code?

Thank you

You cannot combo ExitLongStop and ExitShortStop together. You can't be long and short simultaneously so there is no reason you would exit long and short simultaneously.

You can however program your own trailing stop logic and just use ExitLongStop or ExitShortStop depending on which direction you are in. If you are trying to use a stop and a trailing stop to scale out please be aware you will need to scale in first. You need two entries in order for a two step exit.
