Trail Stop

[siniaglobal]

SetTrailStop("", CalculationMode.Currency, Tsl, false);

I have put in the above code for Trail stop, but the trail stop is not working, please advice.
Tsl is the variable for the value.
There is no stop loss in the code, only profit target and trail stop.

Hello siniaglobal,

Thanks for your post and welcome to the NinjaTrader forums!

"...the trail stop is not working..." - Do you mean it is not moving and/or it is not exiting the trade if hit?

Are you testing this in the strategy analyzer, playback, or live data on the chart?
What bar type and size are you using?
If using live data, what Calculate mode are you using?

If possible, please post your source code file for review. If you prefer not to post in public, you are welcome to send the strategy code file to PlatformSupport[st]NinjaTrader[dot]Com. Mark the subject line, "Atten: Paul" and include a link to this forum thread Please attach your source code file as found in Documents>NinjaTrader8>bin>Custom>stratgey> and will be your strategy name with .CS extension.

Hello siniaglobal,

Thanks for your reply.

In review of the helpguide for SetTrailStop, I find this note: "CalculationMode.Price and CalculationMode.Currency are irrelevant for trail stops. Attempting to use one of these modes will log a message and the stop order be ignored. Please use SetStopLoss() for these modes instead."
Reference: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...ttrailstop.htm

A common alternative is to use the Calculation mode of Ticks.

I will also reply to your e-mail.
