SetStopLoss Name - for multiple stop loss orders

[priceisking]

In My strategy, i have code that places two different orders and i have stop loss orders for each. I later want to move the stops but trying to give a name to the order doesn't seem to work. How can i give it a name so that i can move the correct stop order ?


if (firstEntry)
{

firstEntryOrder = EnterLong(Convert.ToInt32(DefaultQuantity), @"FirstLong");
SetProfitTarget(CalculationMode.Ticks, ProfitTarget);
SetStopLoss(firstEntryOrder.Name,CalculationMode.T icks, StopLoss);
firstEntry = false;
}

else if (!firstEntry && BarsSinceExitExecution() > 4)
{

secondEntryOrder = EnterLong(Convert.ToInt32(DefaultQuantity), @"SecondLong");
SetProfitTarget(CalculationMode.Ticks, ProfitTarget);
SetStopLoss(secondEntryOrder.Name,CalculationMode. Ticks, StopLoss);

}

.
.
.
.
.
.
.

if ((Close[0] - Position.AveragePrice) > 4
SetStopLoss(secondEntryOrder.Name,CalculationMode. Price, Position.AveragePrice + 2 * TickSize);



I keep getting a message:
The name firstEntryOrder does not exist in the current context.
The name secondEntryOrder does notexist in the current context.


It seems like in document i can use fromEntrySignal

Hello priceisking,

Thanks for your post.

The signal names you would want to put in the SetStopLoss() methods are "FirstLong" and "SecondLong".

Example: SetStopLoss("FirstLong",CalculationMode.Ticks, StopLoss, false);

Thank you. Do i have to do the same thing for SetProfitTarget ? To create an OCO type order?

Hello priceisking,

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, you would want to use the same entry name for both stop and profit when you want them tied together.

thank you so much!

One more question. How can I determine the averageprice of both of the entries?

for example if firstentry order is executed, then after 4 bars, the second entry is executed.

Is there a way to calculate entryprice of each of the order? this way i don't have to use average price to set the appropriate stops.

Let me know if this question makes sense.

Thanks,

Hello priceisking,

Thanks for your reply.

You could use OnExecution() and check for the entry name and also the price.
