StopLoss Failure

[onlinebusiness]

Hi guys

So I put my stoploss condition on -$500. but on many times the price changes so quickly my stoploss end up only excuting after I lose like $900 or $1000 or more.
I operate on 5minutes chart, I even made the stop loss operate on 1minute time fram but still nothing changed, because those spikes in price sometimes happens instantly.

So how do I ovoid this? it made me loose my account with my broker because it's against their rules if daily loss exceeded a cartain amout. and that's really bad.

So how do I make sure my srategy always exist the trade at my exact stoploss and not fail?

Hello onlinebusiness,

Thanks for your post.

If you are running your strategy with Calculate mode OnBarClose, you could instead run the script with Calculate.OnPriceChange or OnEachTick so that the strategy processes logic and places trades intrabar instead of only at the close of a bar.

Calculate.OnPriceChange would allow the strategy to process logic for each change in price. Calculate.OnEachTick allows the strategy to process logic for each incoming tick that occurs.

Note that if this is due to market volatility then there might not really be a way to 100% avoid this occurring, as in volatile markets the market could move so far and fast that this could occur.

Let me know if I may assist further.
