Manual modification of a strategy

[Stanfillirenfro]

Hello!

I have a strategy that places trades automatically.

I am wondering if once a trade is placed automatically, I can modify manually the profit target or stop loss without having these flipping everytime a bar closes.

Thanks in davance!

Hello Stanfillirenfro,

Thanks for your post.

When using Set methods, orders will move back based on the strategy's Calculate mode. For example, if you use a Calculate mode of OnBarClose, the Set methods would move back to their original position on the close of a bar.

Instead of Set methods, you would need to use Exit methods such as ExitLongStopLimit with the isLiveUntilCanceled property set to true and ensure that your logic is only calling the Exit methods once so that the order does not reset. When the isLiveUntilCanceled property is set to true the order will NOT expire at the end of a bar but instead remain live until the CancelOrder() method is called or its time in force is reached.

Please refer to the help guide link below regarding Exit methods and the isLiveUntilCanceled property.

Also, please refer to the attached example strategy demonstrating how this could be accomplished.

Let us know if we may assist further.
