Setting Stop at Each Percentage of Open Profit

[prescottbph]

Hi I am trying to just set a simple profit stop after I have 2% of open profit in a position. The following code works fine for when I have 1% open profit but if I change it to anything over 1% it doesn't work.


if ((InLong == true)
&& (High[0] > (Position.AveragePrice * 1.01) ))
{
ExitLongStopMarket(Convert.ToInt32(DefaultQuantity ), (Position.AveragePrice * 1.0075) , @"1%ProfitProtect", "");
}



This doesn't work:


if ((InLong == true)
&& (High[0] > (Position.AveragePrice * 1.02) ))
{
ExitLongStopMarket(Convert.ToInt32(DefaultQuantity ), (Position.AveragePrice * 1.0075) , @"2%ProfitProtect", "");
}


Thanks

Hello prescottbph,

Thank you for the post.

I wanted to check, are you currently using Prints or any other type of way to see the value you are calculating?

Nothing looks out of place in what you provided, however, the value you are calculating may be the problem. Have you tried using a Print like the following before the condition to see what values it is reporting?

Print("InLong: " + InLong + " High[0]: " + High[0] + " Position.AveragePrice * 1.02: " + (Position.AveragePrice * 1.02));

if ((InLong == true) && (High[0] > (Position.AveragePrice * 1.01) ))

This would likely be the easiest way to see what is happening here.



I look forward to being of further assistance.
