How to create a stop while also using limit orders

[Austiner87]

Hello, I have a strategy that plots the exit by a limit order on the EMA, however, I also want a stop that is listed on the exchange, as opposed to an ExitLongStopMarket for instance, which is not listed. However, when I try to add the code for a stop that I get from using the strategy builder, the stop does not appear when the strategy runs.

I just want a stop to appear in the same way it does when I make a simple strategy in the strategy builder (the stop is not intended to "move" from the entry price like the target does - following the EMA

Asking for some help, thank you.

Hello Austiner87,

Thank you for your post.

What code did you try to add for a stop? What order type would you like to use instead of ExitLongStopMarket()? Do you see any error messages on the Log tab of the Control Center when testing your strategy and seeing that the stop does not appear? If so, what do the errors report?

Your ask to post my code answered my question - the stops were appearing correctly after I fixed something small in the code, thank you
