Good till cancel stop order

[Tonkingrf1551]

Good afternoon,

I am trying to figure out how to keep a stop order active until I set parameters to cancel it.

Currently have:

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
if (BarsInProgress!= 0)
return;

if (CurrentBars[0] < 1)
return;

// Set 1
if (Open[0] > (Close[1] * 1.0025))

{

openBarHigh = High[0];
EnterLongStopLimit(Convert.ToInt32(DefaultQuantity ), openBarHigh + (10 + TickSize), (openBarHigh + (1 * TickSize)) , "R");

}


This seems to work fine so long as the stop order is triggered on the next candle.
Why doesn't the variable openBarHigh not store the value and keep the stop order open indefinitely? The direction I am going is to cancel the stop order if price trades below openBarHigh Low and keep the order open until end of day.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Hello Tonkingrf1551,

From the given code I can't tell where openBarHigh is defined and used to say why it may not be holding the value. As long as that is a user variable or class level variable that would retain a value until the next time you had set it.

I would suggest to take a look at the following strategy builder example, you can unlock it if you are manually coding as well. This shows how to use a variable for the price and another variable to determine a "state" which drives the logic. That second variable controls which set is currently working and holds the order open.
