Strategy that only trails a stop

[mlarocco]

I am trying to create a strategy that is only used to trail a stop based on the ParabolicSAR. I am able to do this in a "full" strategy that enters positions and then trails the stop based on ParabolicSAR, so I know that part of the code works. My problem occurs in the strategy that will only trail the stop from a position that was entered manually. I can't seem to have the strategy get the correct atmstrategyId of the working orders and I'm unable to have it get the entry price. I have been using
atmStrategyId = GetAtmStrategyUniqueId();
which seems to get random ID's and
if (GetAtmStrategyMarketPosition(atmStrategyId) != MarketPosition.Flat)
entryPrice = GetAtmStrategyPositionAveragePrice(atmStrategyId);
for the entry price which isn't working either.
I'm wondering if this is even possible (getting the strategy ID from manually placed orders). Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

Hello mlarocco,

Thank you for your post.

As you have guessed, this is unfortunately not possible with manual entries.
