Dynamically change the stop loss price in SetStopLoss()

[Kostiantyn]

Hi guys.
In my strategy, I try to use SetStopLoss() with a CalculationMode.Price value inside OnBarUpdate(). And I ran into the problem of triggering a SetStopLoss() at a previous non-current price. There is a warning in the manual: https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/en-us/setstoploss.htm (Should you call this method to dynamically change the stop loss price in the strategy OnBarUpdate() method, you should always reset the stop loss price / offset value when your strategy is flat otherwise, the last price/offset value set will be used to generate your stop loss order on your next open position). This is just my case. But I do not know how to overload use SetStopLoss() in order not to use the price from the previous position. Thank.

Error

Hello Kostiantyn,

The error states the price being used is not valid or is 0. To address this you would need to debug the script further to find why an invalid price is being used. I could suggest using Prints with the price you are using where it is being used for SetStopLoss.

As we are already speaking through email, I would suggest replying to my prior email with these details if this is related to the script we have already been discussing so we can keep all of the information about your question in one place. If this is unrelated to your earlier post/email, please ensure to make a new thread for new questions.




Please let me know if I may be of additional assistance.
