SetTrailStop Not Updating

[toptrader]

I am trying to get the trailing stop to update intrabar, however it is not updating at all, even on the close of a bar. Am I doing something wrong?

        protected override void Initialize()
        {
            CalculateOnBarClose = false;
	TraceOrders = true;
			
	SetTrailStop(stoppoints*Instrument.MasterInstrument.PointValue);
       }

Please check your Control Center logs for errors. You likely cannot access PointValue from Initialize()

[toptrader]

Logs show no errors. Trace orders shows the stop amount going in at 250, which is correct and working. However once the order is placed it is never updated.

Please use a calculation mode instead of currency.

The stop seems to be working now but is not submitting the order. It seems like it is working in a simulated mode even though the output window tells me simulated=false. Also, it is waiting for a bar to close to submit the order. Is this normal?

toptrader,

How are you determining it is simulated? What CalculateOnBarClose setting are you using? Backtesting? Real-time? Either case, it should be sent in as the entry order gets filled provided you called the Set() before the entry order (which you have in Initialize).

Apparently it is not working at all now. I am running in real-time. CalculateOnBarClose=false.

Check your Control Center logs for errors. Also please provide the exact code you have.

[toptrader]

There are no errors in the logs and nothing strange in the traceorders log.

protected override void Initialize()
        {
            CalculateOnBarClose = false;
	TraceOrders = true;
				
	SetTrailStop(CalculationMode.Price,stoppoints);
        }

[NinjaTrader_JoshP]

Please post the TraceOrders output from when you enter and when the stop is placed.

protected override void Initialize()
        {
            CalculateOnBarClose = false;
    TraceOrders = true;
 
    SetTrailStop(CalculationMode.Price,stoppoints);
        }

Try:

SetTrailStop(CalculationMode.Ticks, stoppointticks)

You just have to define stoppointticks instead points

[toptrader]

That works. Thank you
