ES limit offset being ignored

[andrewbee]

Hi,

My strategy is entering orders with fixed profit and stop loss targets. The problem is that my stop loss targets are coming out as 1.25 ticks instead of 5.25. I am setting it correctly, with a hard-coded value to make sure:

SetStopLoss(CalculationMode.Ticks, 5.25);

but the orders that come out are only offset by 1.25 from the entry point, e.g. entry point = 1498.25, stop loss = 1497.0, when it should be 1493.0

Thanks

That is incorrect since you are passing in points not ticks. Should be:

SetStopLoss(CalculationMode.Ticks, 21);

DUH! Thank you!
