SetProfit/SetStopLosss

02-02-2010, 10:47 AM

Is it possible to use SetProfitTarget or SetStopLoss in OnExecution method? If I am in the market, and send a limit order in the other direction, it seems that I am immediately being set to flat because of an exiting Profit or Loss value set. I only want to change this when I execute, not at the beginning of a bar, because I won't know if I get the new trade or not. Should I change the CalculateOnBarClose to false if I can't use the SetProfitTarget in the OnExecution.

TradingDreamer, the Set() methods would not return an IOrder object to manage this, please use the Exit() methods for this task -

The OnOrderUpdate() and OnExecution() methods are reserved for experienced programmers. Instead of using Set() methods to submit stop-loss and profit target orders, you can submit and update them manually through the use of IOrder and IExecution objects in the OnOrderUpdate() and OnExecution() methods.
