SetAutoTrail()

[rcsingleton]

How about support for the AutoTrail ATM function inside a strategy?

SetAutoTrail(CalculationMode.Ticks, 12,6,6);

The above would be a great addition to the Strategy development commands.

Currently I'm writing a few lines of code to support :

1. Waiting for 6 ticks in profit
2. Setting StopLoss back 12 ticks
3. Adjusting every 6 ticks in profit.

It would be nice to replace that code with the above command.

Any chance of adding this suggestion to the development work schedule?

Hello rcsingleton,
Thanks for your note.

You can do it by simply reassigning the SetStopLoss method again and further custom code your strategy. A sample code will be like:

//in variable
int profitTicks = 6;

//in OnBarUpdate
if (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Long && Close[0] >  Position.AvgPrice + profitTicks * TickSize)
{
	profitTicks += 6;
	SetStopLoss(CalculationMode.Price , Close[0] - 12 * TickSize); 
}
