Plot line for Stoploss

[billr]

I have a strategy that has a price modification feature for the StopLoss and I would like to have a horizontal line plotted at the stop level and updated as the stop changes. (only a single line at any one time that is at the latest stop level, not multiple lines) How would that be done? Thanks.

Hello billr,

Your StopLoss can use a variable for its level. Your line can also use a variable. If you use the same variable name for each then it's drawn at the same level. Below are links to method signatures for stop losses and horizontal lines.

Set the Y value for the horizontal line to the same value as your stop loss. If you're not using mode price for your stop loss than you'll have to calculate these values manually.

Place the DrawHorizontal line in the same block that places your entry orders.

You can see this reference sample for help with monitoring stop loss and target orders:

You could then monitor for when status is filled and then use RemoveDrawObject() to remove your line.
