&& (CrossBelow(Close, EMA3, 1))
&& (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Flat))
{
EnterShort(Convert.ToInt32(QuantityStocks), @"sell");
Shortloss = Swing1.SwingHigh[0];
Shortprofit = ((Swing1.SwingHigh[0] - ((Position.AveragePrice)*2 ) - (Position.AveragePrice))) ;
}

// Set 2
if (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Short)
{
ExitShortStopMarket(Convert.ToInt32(QuantityStocks ), Shortloss, @"exitshortloss", @"sell");

ExitShortMIT(Convert.ToInt32(QuantityStocks), Shortprofit, @"sellprofit", @"sell");
}

Hello walter739,

When you mention "I need set this price but i dont know the correct syntax.", what is "this price"?

What is the price you want to set to the Shortprofit variable?

Are you trying to set Shortprofit to an exact price of 10?
private Shortprofit;
Shortprofit = 10;

Do you mean 10 ticks above the current ask price?
Shortprofit = GetCurrentAsk() + 10 * TickSize;

Hello ChelseaB, thanks for answer, sorry i m not explain well. I need the Shortprofit variable an relation 2 to 1 to the Shorlloss Variable. If the price of stop is 5 greater the entry, the profit must be 10 less the entry, it the stop is 6 the profit must be 12.

I set fine the Shortstop with indicator Swing high, but i dont know how set the formula for Shortprofit .using reference the Shortloss and Position.AveragePrice

Shortloss = Swing1.SwingHigh[0];
Shortprofit = ((Swing1.SwingHigh[0] - ((Position.AveragePrice)*2 ) - (Position.AveragePrice))) ;

Only examples the entry price:

Entryprice: 30
Shortstop: 35
Shortprofit: 20

Entryprice: 40
Shortstop: 45
Shortprofit: 30

I try with the code above but dont work.

If you can help me with the syntax

Regards

Hello, ChelseaB, thanks for your time.

I work with this formula and work fine. I write for other users in the future.

Shortprofit = (Math.Abs(Position.AveragePrice - (Shortloss - Position.AveragePrice))
