Current value of a trailing stop

[Beauregard]

Hello

I made now several searches in the forum, but could not find an answer to my question.
I would like to know in my strategy at each BarUpdate() what is the current value of the trailingstop. How can I retrieve that value?

Thanks
Andre

Andre, how are you setting the trailing stop? With the SetTrailStop() method? If so, you'll have to monitor OnOrderUpdate() for changes to the trailing stop order in a variable and then check that variable every OnBarUpdate(). If you are using IOrders, then you can just check the stop price of the order directly, like this:

// in variables
private IOrder myOrder = null;

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
    myOrder = ExitLongStop(1300);
    Print("my order stop price: " + myOrder.StopPrice); // will print 1300
}

I set the trailingstop with SetTrailStop(). Could you please be more specific and make an example how I can check the value?
I have in my code:
CurrentOrder=EnterLong(1,EnterOrderName);
SetTrailStop(EnterOrderName, CalculationMode.Percent ,.05, false);

Hello Beauregard,

You can follow the techniques in this sample for tracking prices of orders submitted with Set statements.

Monitoring Stop-Loss and Profit Target Orders

The sample is pretty close to what you're looking for, except the name of trail stop orders is different than stop loss.

For checking trail stop orders:
if (order.Name == "Trail stop")
