Closes with Indicator Trailing Stop

[sdauteuil]

I have a strategy running on a NQ 12-20 chart that is executing trades on a secondary instrument MNQ 12-20

AddDataSeries("MNQ 12-20", Data.BarsPeriodType.Tick, 1, Data.MarketDataType.Last);


I want to create an exit if the primary instrument NQ 12-20 trades below the ATR trailing stop.


if (BarsInProgress == 1)
&& Closes[0][0] <= AtrTrailingOnClose1.Upper[1])
&& Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Long)

Will this reference the AtrTrailingOnClose1 from the primary chart?


I wasn't sure and tried... AtrTrailingOnClose1.Upper[0][1] this caused errors when compiling.

Hello sdauteuil,

Thank you for your note.

How is your AtrTrailingOnClose1 series set up in State.DataLoaded? If you didn't specify a different series for it to be calculated on, this would calculate on the primary bars series. I'd suggest taking a look at this section of our help guide for a detailed example:
