SetProfitTarget

[pman777]

Hi, I want to have 3 different profit targets from one entry. So I execute a market order for 3 contracts and want o exit each contract with a separate target. Can you direct me to a resource or example on how to accomplish this? Thank you

Hello pman777,

Thank you for the post.

You must have a unique signal name for each contract. You can write something similar to the following to set individual targets for the same entry.

EnterLong("Entry0");
EnterLong("Entry1");
EnterLong("Entry2");

SetProfitTarget("Entry0", CalculationMode.Ticks, 5);
SetProfitTarget("Entry1", CalculationMode.Ticks, 10);
SetProfitTarget("Entry2", CalculationMode.Ticks, 20);

Please let me know if I can assist further.

Perfect ... thank you!

to correlate with the above recommendation, i set up 3 "SetStopLoss" commands as follows:

SetStopLoss("Entry0",CalculationMode.Ticks, stopInTicks);
SetStopLoss("Entry1",CalculationMode.Ticks, stopInTicks);
SetStopLoss("Entry2",CalculationMode.Ticks, stopInTicks);

But I get this compiler msg: " overload for method 'SetStopLoss' takes 3 arguments" ... any thoughts? thanks

Hello pman777,

Thanks for the reply.

You must use this overload to specify a signal name for SetStopLoss:

SetStopLoss(string fromEntrySignal, CalculationMode mode, double value, bool isSimulatedStop)

Pass in "false" for isSimulatedStop if you do not want a simulated stop.

Please let me know if I can assist further.
