How does EnterShortStopLimit work?

[SuzyG]

I cannot get EnterShortStopLimit or EnterLongStopLimit to work. The help example is EnterShortStop. I am expecting a stop order to be placed along with the entry. Is this correct? Also, intellisense shows only one choice and help shows 4.Please give an example.

Thanks, Suzy

Incorrect, EnterShortStopLimit() is the entry itself, not a stop order to protect an open position generated by the entry.

Use the SetStopLoss() method to place a stop loss order.

PS - My intellisense shows 4 overloads, "1 of 4", does yours only show text "1 of 1" ?

Thank you, my misunderstanding. It seems to take longer to enter a trade, the stop limit and target automated when compared to placing an order in the DOM. There is no method to do this in one step, right?

My intellisense is like yours. 1 of 4. I was wrong.

That is correct.
