how to properly configure Stop Market Order

[jimmy_trader]

Dear Support

Does the ExitLongStopMarket Price has to be exact market price?
in the sense that I am passing a stop price that the decimal is not quarters or ticks

will this prevent the order to get executed?

Thanks

Hello jimmy_trader,

Thanks for your post.

ExitLongStopMarket() generates a sell stop market order to exit a long position at the exact stop price that you specify.

For example, ExitLongStopMarket(Low[0]); would submit a sell stop market order at the current bar's Low price. This could be offset by Ticks, Pips, Percent, etc. Below is an example of calling ExitLongStopMarket() with a stop price of the current bar's Low price + a 5 tick offset.

ExitLongStopMarket(Low[0] + 5 * TickSize);
