How to use SetStopLoss with pecentage?

[ooppie]

I used SetStopLoss with the ticks mode in my strategy and it worked in backtesting e-mini future contracts.

However, when I change to either price or percentage mode, the stop loss order did not seem to be placed.

Does the price or percentage mode work for future contracts? I must add that I enter at the same timeframe but exit at a longer timeframe:

From 1 min:
EnterShort(0, firstHalf, "FirstHalf");

From 15 min:
ExitShort(0, firstHalf, "ExitFirstHalf", "FirstHalf");

Seperately, if I enter two orders for scaling out, should I call SetStopLoss once without specifying the signal name or call it twice:

SetStopLoss(CalculationMode.Price, 1321);

or

SetStopLoss("FirstHalf", CalculationMode.Price, 1321, false);
SetStopLoss("SecondHalf", CalculationMode.Price, 1321, false);

Thanks!

For scaling out this reference sample may be of use: http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/v...ead.php?t=3751

In terms of CalculationModes they should all work. Please see the Control Center logs for any messages. Also please use TraceOrders = true to debug the orders. I suspect maybe they are getting cancelled via invalid stop price? TraceOrders will tell you in the Output Window if this is the case.
