Changing stop "on the fly"

[BBzDan]

Hello,
Is it possible to change the stop of a runnig "scripted" strategy "on the flY"?

I have a "scripted" strategy that uses a stop loss, that moves to break even when the BE trigger is reached, then it becomes a trailing stop when the trailing trigger is reached. I run it from chart trader. After the strategy triggers and I am in the trade, I cannot change the stop loss/trail stop (move the arrow). It jumps back where it was.

If it's possible, how? An example (not only an explanation) would be appreciated, as I do not know scripting well (actually, very badly).

Thanks.

Hi BBzDan,

Unfortunately, dynamically controlling the way the orders are placed is not supported, and frankly, should not be done.

You can add more discretion by calling an ATM Strategy from the Strategy (there's a sample code at "Tools>Edit NS>Strategies") and moving the orders around from a Chart Trader or SuperDOM.

The Stop is moving back to it's original position on the next OnBarUpdate(), where it's value is set in the code.

OK, thanks.
