Using Pivot Value for StopLoss and Profit

[charliefoxtrot]

I initially used the strategy builder to enter a trade when price closes above an indicator value. I am having some issues setting the profit and stop based on values from that same indicator. I am wanting to use the value from camarilla pivot R3 for profit and camarilla S4 for stop loss. I have unlocked the code to try and make the SetProfitTarget() to be CamarillaPivot.R3, but im getting an error. I have copied the code here. I am sure its something silly. Please help!

Hello charliefoxtrot,

Welcome to the NinjaTrader forums!

Unfortunately, in the Strategy Builder Set methods cannot be set to dynamic prices such as series or indicator plot values.
Instead, use an exit order such as 'Exit long position with a limit order' within the actions 'Do the following' section of the Condition Builder.

Below is a link to an example.

Or alternatively, unlock the script and you can manually code setting set methods within OnBarUpdate().
