    double exit strategy

    the following is "OnBarUpdate() which compliles but not giving the result intended.

    the goal is to have an exit either 10 ticks profit,10 ticks stop, or when price touches the SMA (10)
    Code:
    [SIZE=2][FONT=Courier New][COLOR=#0000ff]if[/COLOR][/FONT][/SIZE][FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2] (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Long)[/SIZE][/FONT]
[SIZE=2][FONT=Courier New]ExitLongLimit(SMA(10)[[/FONT][/SIZE][FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2][COLOR=#800080]0[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2]]);[/SIZE][/FONT]
 
[FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]if[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2] (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Long)[/SIZE][/FONT]
[SIZE=2][FONT=Courier New]SetStopLoss([/FONT][/SIZE][FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2][COLOR=#800000]""[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2], CalculationMode.Ticks, 10, [/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2][COLOR=#0000ff]true[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2]);[/SIZE][/FONT]

    The Set() methods need to be placed before you acquire a long position for them to take affect on the long position.

    You should call the Set() methods right before you call EnterLong().

      set methods

      is this considered a set method?
      Code:
      [COLOR=#0000ff]if[/COLOR][FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2] (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Long)[/SIZE][/FONT]
[SIZE=2][FONT=Courier New]ExitLongLimit(SMA(10)[[/FONT][/SIZE][FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2][COLOR=#800080]0[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2]]);[/SIZE][/FONT]

        Set() methods are SetStopLoss(), SetTrailStop(), and SetProfitTarget().

          does this go into the "intialize()?
          Code:
          ExitLongLimit(SMA(10)[[FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2][COLOR=#800080]0[/COLOR][/SIZE][/FONT][FONT=Courier New][SIZE=2]]);[/SIZE][/FONT]

            No. No logic should ever be placed in Initialize().
