Setting autobreakeven

[gayathri]

I'm setting a auto breakeven when the trade is in 10 ticks profit, but I don't seem to be working. Can anyone help me if I'm missing anything?

Below method is called from OnBarUpdate()

        private void SetBrekeven()
        {
            // Raise stop loss to breakeven when there is at least 10 ticks in profit
            if (Close[0] >= Position.AveragePrice + 10 * TickSize)
            {
                // set breakeven stop loss order
                if (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Long)
                {
                    ExitLongStopMarket(Position.Quantity, Position.AveragePrice);
                }
                else
                {
                    ExitShortStopMarket(Position.Quantity, Position.AveragePrice);
                }
            }
        }​

Trades at 19:20 & 19:50 should have closed at breakeven but it didn't.

Hello gayathri,

To understand the behavior, enable TraceOrders and print the time of the bar and all values used in the condition with labels for each value and comparison operator.

Use the overload parameters with isLiveUntilCancelled as true to allow the order to stay alive and not be cancelled automatically when the submission bar closes.

Below is a link to an example using Exit orders that demonstrates similar behavior.
