Breakeven Stop Loss Issue

[LJMartinet]

Hi,
I have been working on a strategy using the strategy builder that I want to use a breakeven stop loss. I have used the model for a strategy builder breakeven provided in a different ninja trader forum post (I'll share the link below). When the strategy is working, it should place an entry and then place a stop loss. After that, if the price rises, it should set the stop loss to the breakeven price, and then exit the trade either when the exit conditions become true, or the stop loss is hit. I have had a very confusing issue with this because sometimes it will follow that order, or it just won't place the stop loss entirely. I have tried many things like mostly removing the conditions for placing the stop losses or making a trigger state variable for long positions and shorts but those have all been unsuccessful. I am suspicious that the issue is caused by my last condition which is meant to disable the stop loss in order to place the exit trade, but I really don't know. I attached a lot of pictures with more information and examples of the issue. Since there is a max on how many I can attach, I'll just add the rest on in a message responding to this. I would really appreciate any help with this issue and any other suggestions would be great.
Thanks

Hello LJMartinet,

Thanks for your post.

If the expected trade(s) are not appearing, this would indicate that the condition to place the order is not evaluating as true or the order is being ignored for other reasons.

When working with any issue, it is important to take steps to isolate the issue so that the exact line causing the behavior can be found. This is a process of elimination and a process of debugging by adding prints.

To understand why the script is behaving as it is, such as placing orders or not placing orders when expected, it is necessary to add prints to the script that print the values used for the logic of the script to understand how the script is evaluating.

In the strategy add prints (outside of any conditions) that print the values of every variable used in every condition that places an order along with the time of that bar.

Prints will appear in the NinjaScript Output window (New > NinjaScript Output window).

Below is a link to a forum post that demonstrates how to use prints to understand behavior.
