Trailing Stop Loss

[EliIsrael]

Hello, I’ currently have a trailing stop loss that is activated on price trigger which is my profit target. As soon as it touches that price it activates my trailing stop even when it doesn’t fill my initial target. Is there a way that I can set the trailing stop to activate ONLY after it filled my previous target? thanks.

Hello EliIsrael,

If you are using unique signal names for each entry and using these as the from entry signal of the exits, you could call SetTrailStop() from or Exit method in OnExecutionUpdate() for the exit of the first entry fills.

You can check the execution.Name, and check the execution.Order.FromEntrySignal.
