SetParabolicStop not recognized?

[Trader1001]

Hi. Does anyone have a snippet of code showing how to use SetParabolicStop()? I'm attempting to use it in my strategy but get the error message ''SetParabolicStop does not exist in the current context". I don't have this problem when I substitute SetStopLoss(). Thanks!

Hello Trader1001,

Thank you for the post.

The help guide page covering SetParabolicStop has two examples of setting up a parabolic stop.
