Entry Bar return

[YevhenShynkarenko]

Hello!

How can I get Enter Position Bar in my strategy?
Want to create next thing:
When position is going +10 ticks in my side -> set stop loss on the high/low of the bar, where was an entry in position.

Thanks!

Hello YevhenShynkarenko,

To find when the price has increased, save the trigger price to a variable. Then compare the current price to that variable.

For example:
private double triggerPrice = 0;
if (/* conditions to enter trade */)
{
SetStopLoss( "entryOrder", CalculationMode.Ticks, 10, false );
EnterLong( "entryOrder" );
triggerPrice = Close[0] + 10 * TickSize;
}

if (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Long && Close[0] >= triggerPrice)
{
SetStopLoss( "entryOrder", CalculationMode.Price, Position.AvgPrice, false );
}

This code sets the triggerPrice variable to the current price plus 10 ticks (Close[0] + 10 * TickSize). Once the current price is equal or greater than the saved price the stop loss is set to the position entry price.

I am also attaching a more complicated example script that demonstrates movements in OnBarUpdate and movements in OnMarketData() with a slightly different approach.
