Help with Strategy Builder Stop Loss

[SheriDi]

I have been looking at the sample TrailLongShortBuilderExample strategy in the post below and for the life of me can't wrap my head around what "ProgressState" is. Should be easy to figure out, but it's just eluding me

Hello SheriDi,

Thank you for your post.

ProressState is an int variable that ensures that the actions are performed in a specific order. It is similar to the idea of using a bool for one condition to be met before another (like this example here), only it is an in instead of a bool because many conditions need to take place in a specific order.

Hopefully this explanation helps to understand ProgressState better. Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.

That makes sense. Thank you!
