SetStopLoss is not working in Strategy

[futtrader]

Hi

It seems like SetStopLoss is not working in my strategy.


1)When using EnterLong() -by default it used the close of the Candle -- Is it possible to use Open of the Candle ?

    if (Basp.ChannelingUP[0])
            {
                double entryPrice = Bars.GetOpen(CurrentBars[0]); // Get the open price of the current candle
                double stopLossPrice = entryPrice + 8; // Calculate the stop loss price (adjust as needed)
                string signalName = "ENTERLONG";

                Print("Entering long at open price: " + entryPrice); // Print the entry price
                EnterLongLimit(entryPrice, signalName);

                Print("Adding stop loss at price: " + stopLossPrice); // Print the stop loss price
                SetStopLoss("StopLos****OnLP", CalculationMode.Price, stopLossPrice, false);
            }
            else if (Basp.ChannelingDOWN[0])
            {
                double stopLossPrice = Close[0] + 8; // Calculate the stop loss price (adjust as needed)
                string signalName = "ENTERSHORT";
                double entryPrice = Bars.GetOpen(CurrentBars[0]); // Get the open price of the current candle

                Print("Entering short at open price: " + entryPrice); // Print the entry price
                EnterShortLimit(entryPrice, signalName);

                Print("Adding stop loss at price: " + stopLossPrice); // Print the stop loss price
                SetStopLoss("StopLos****OnSP", CalculationMode.Price, stopLossPrice, false);
            }​

In Attachment Trades report you can see --Even I've set stoploss to 8 Point in my Code --it's never hitting the stoploss.

Hello futtrader,

Thanks for your post.

You mentioned you are calling EnterLong() but I do not see that method in the code you shared. Did you mean that you are calling EnterLongLimit()?

I see you are using Bars.GetOpen() in your script. Note that Open[0] should be used in a strategy script to get the open price of the current bar.

Where exactly are you calling this code in your script?

Is it being called in OnStateChange() or in OnBarUpdate()?

Please share a reduced test script that demonstrates the behavior you are reporting so we may look into this further.

Note that a reduced copy refers to a copy of the script that contains the minimum amount of code needed to reproduce the issue. All other code is commented out or removed.

To create a copy of your script to modify, open a New > NinjaScript Editor, select your script, right-click in the Editor, select 'Save as', name the script, and click OK.

I look forward to assisting further.

Actually I found the issue - Signal name was not consistent cross the order
thanks
