Set Stop Loss at the low of the signal bar

[jzag456]

Hey folks
I am now trying to automate one of my strategies. I usually set the stop loss one tick below the signal bar.
I was using the following, but it doesn't work:
SetStopLoss("Entry", CalculationMode.Price, Low[0], false);
This is how i open my positions:
EnterLongStop(DefaultQuantity, High[0], "Entry");
Thanks in advance.

Show where and how you are using those lines.

The Set Stop Loss and Calculation Mode Price were generated by the strategy wizard. I just added "Low (0).

thats some useless information. no offence

lets try it by asking what went wrong. did u get an error? what error.

did he place the stop wrong

no stop at all?


u have to give us a bit here if you want help. bc from a coding standpoint those 2 lines you posted are perfectly fine. so it has so be something else in your code thats not right.

I didnt receive any error. All positions were closed at the end of the day. So there was no stop loss set by the system.
Everything was created by the Strategy Wizard.
