SetStopLoss()

[Lhiva]

Hello,

I am using currently using SetStopLoss() which I have declared in initialization to protect my trades.
However, I would also want to change variables during the StopLoss execution.

eg: change variable State = 1 from State = 0;

Is this possible?

Hello,

Thanks for the note.

This is possible to change the stop loss dynamically. To do this please use this sample.

Thanks for the help, the method you provided changes the SetStopLoss parameters, I am actually wanting to change variables that is outside the SetStopLoss function's scope while the stopLoss is executed. Is that workable?

Hello,

Sorry not sure I follow.

Are you wanting to move the stop loss up or down by changing the stop loss variable after entry into the trade?

I look forward to assisting you further.

I am using several variables that act as "switches" or "states" for my backtesting conditions to give my strategy more variations.

Such variables change when my position changes(eg: covered, stopped, scratched)
However when SetStopLoss is executed, I cannot change such variables as i cant find a way to access the stoploss function.

hope this explains better

Hello,

In this case you need to monitor the stop loss if you need it for this purpose. Use this sample.

This will give you a way to track the stop loss order.
