Hello wagner4691,

Thanks for your post.

In order for the SetStopLoss to update sooner (real time), on live or replay data, you would need to run your strategy with Calculate.OnEachTick or Calculate.OnPriceChange. Either of these will cause your script to run as a new tick is received or as a change in price occurs, keep in mind that this means your strategy code may run hundreds of times (or more or less) per bar compared to once per bar as it does now.

You may want to segment some of your code so that it runs on the live data and some so that it only runs once per bar. Here is a link to an example of that: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...either_cal.htm
