My Stop Loss and Profit Target are moving with the current bar

[christopher512]

Hello,

I provided my code for the strategy, my goal is to make the my profit target and stop loss based on the indicator values at the time it entered into a position and not move anymore. For stop loss
I use double previouslowerline = myindi.Lowerline[0]; but when I look sometimes on the backtested charts the bars where it finally ends in a stop loss are waaay far gone from the original value of the indicator. So I'm assuming my stop loss is dynamicly moving with the current bar?

So I was wondering if you could help me out and Thank you in advance

Hello christopher512,

Call SetStopLoss() before calling an entry method (not after).

The stop price would only be updated if the SetStopLoss() method is called. In the code I am seeing that there is a return if the position is flat.
Are you certain this line is being called?

Print the time of the bar one line above the SetStopLoss() call. Are you seeing this print appearing?
