SetStopLoss or SetProfitTarget Per Specific Unique Entry

[markyb0y]

Is it possible for me to Enter a trade and tie a particular stoploss (or profittarget) to it.

e.g.

EntryHandling is set to "UniqueEntries"
Entries Per Direction is set to 2

EnterShort(1,"Trade1"); e.g. ENTERS @ 5290
SetStopLoss(CalculationMode.Price,5300); ** TIE THIS TO "Trade1" **

EnterShort(1,"Trade2"); e.g. ENTERS @ 5280
SetStopLoss(CalculationMode.Price,5290); ** TIE THIS TO "Trade2" **

then later on

move stop for "Trade1" to another price
move stop for "Trade2" to another price

etc etc.

Is this "tie" of Stop Losses / Profit Targets to specific trades possible ?

Many Thanks

Hello markyb0y,
Yes, you can do so using the below overload.

SetStopLoss(string fromEntrySignal, CalculationMode mode, double value, bool simulated)

Please refer to our help guide to know more.

pair up the Stop with the Entry

Given :

tradeidno=1;
EnterShort(contractspertrade,tradeidno.ToString()) ;
SetStopLoss(tradeidno.ToString(),CalculationMode.T icks,10,true);


When I outpur the orders in OnOrderUpdate I get :

The order name 1 stop price is currently 0 **** EnterShort ****
The order name Stop loss stop price is currently 5542 ** SetStopLoss **

If I add more stop losses it names them all "Stop loss"

tradeidno++;

The order name 2 stop price is currently 0
The order name Stop loss stop price is currently 5548

Order='NT-00001/Backtest' Name='Stop loss' State=Working Instrument='Z 09-12' Action=BuyToCover Limit price=0 Stop price=5542 Quantity=1 Strategy='BuildTradingPlan' Type=Stop Tif=Gtc Oco='NT-00000-467' Filled=0 Fill price=0 Token='e36ca3e3254e4a099cda7e8a0010fc36' Gtd='01/12/2099 00:00:00'
Order='NT-00003/Backtest' Name='Stop loss' State=Working Instrument='Z 09-12' Action=BuyToCover Limit price=0 Stop price=5548 Quantity=1 Strategy='BuildTradingPlan' Type=Stop Tif=Gtc Oco='NT-00001-467' Filled=0 Fill price=0 Token='062f21940b5d43ceadd1d2a337786755' Gtd='01/12/2099 00:00:00'

Is this correct?

I need to be able to pair up the Stop with the Entry.

How can this be done?

Hello markyb0y,
Orders submitted by the SetStopLoss will be marked as "Stop Loss".

Instead of looking for the order name please print out the values of the FromEntrySignal property to know from which entry order your stop was "tagged" with.

e.Order.FromEntrySignal
