SetStopLoss vs ChangeOrder(stopLoss.. renamed from 97419

[BartMan]

NinjaTrader_ChelseaB , these are invaluable samples (below @ bottom) taken from https://ninjatrader.com/support/foru...s-cs-expecting


I trade primarily on a 5 min chart

This confused me for a bit, in fact I burned hours on it

addDataSeries(BarsPeriodType.Tick, 1);


// all code below this point takes places during BarsInProgress 1 when the secondary series is processing
if (BarsInProgress != 1) return;

This is basically saying

If if (BarsInProgress == 0) {
//Continue
//Of course you could have other data seies


}

I would like to confirm with you there would be no penalty to rewrite it as follows, I am doing so as I write this

switch (BarsInProgress){
case 0: // Primary data series
//Codeblock per bar goes here
break;
case 1: //Every Tick
//codeblock per tick goes here
break
}

Hello BartMan,

Yes, using a switch is the same as using if and else ifs. No penalty.
