Trouble with Trailing Stop

[us8lander]

Hi -
Having trouble getting Trailing Stops to work ... I am using Calculate on Bar close ... is that a problem?

In the Initialize method(), I am using :
SetTrailStop(CalculationMode.Ticks, 6);

and a standard EnterLong() in my OnBarUpdate() method.
As I look at my strategy over the past 5 days of data I have, it shows each entry point based on my trade logic ... and then it exits at the identical price. Looks like an instant after it entered, it stopped out ...
Help please...

Hello us8lander,

Thanks for your post.

With reference to the helpguide definition for SetTrailStop(): Generates a trail stop order to exit a position. Trail stops are amended on a tick by tick basis. Link: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...ttrailstop.htm

Please attach the source code of your strategy so we may review for what could be the cause. The file can be found in Documents>NinjaTrader7>bin>Custom>Strategy> and it will be named the same as your strategy with a .CS file extension.

Alternatively, if you prefer you can send the strategy file into platform support by email to: PlatformSupport[at]NinjaTrader[dot]Com, mark the e-mail Atten:Paul and please include a link to this thread.
