Hello osmanigarces,

Thank you for your post.

Where is this code located? Is it in OnBarUpdate()?

Also please note, set methods cannot be unset. To reset the ProfitTarget, you should before a new entry is placed and when the strategy is flat. From the Help Guide:

"Should you call this method to dynamically change the target price in the strategy OnBarUpdate() method, you should always reset the target price / offset value when your strategy is flat otherwise, the last price/offset value set will be used to generate your profit target order on your next open position"

This sample script demonstrates modifying the price of profit target orders:

Please let me know if you have any further questions.
