Stop loss one tick below days open.

[4blue]

Hi all,

I am having some trouble getting a stop loss to work for the current strategy that i am working on.

For the back testing i am trying to utilise a stop loss that will be one tick below the current days open and then for the same strategy run it for optimization using a percentage below the days open.

I was just hoping some one could point out the correct code to use for the two situations.

1 tick below

SetStopLoss("long 1", CalculationMode.Price, CurrentDayOHL().CurrentOpen[0] - (1 * TickSize), false); 

percentage below - this would be for 0.5% below - for the optimimization i would utilise (1 - variable) with the variable being 0.005 to 0.03.

SetStopLoss("long 1", CalculationMode.Price, CurrentDayOHL().CurrentOpen[0] * 0.995, false); 

many thanks for any help

4Blue, which issues are you seeing with those two code samples you posted? Have you check into your order behavior with enabled TraceOrders already?

hi bertrand

thank you again for the response.

I am still unsure what the problem was for the two stop loss conditions but the problem was remedied when I altered the price calculation for the stop loss price.
