Setting SL and TP using ATR on manually added limit order

[dennisj86]

Hi,

I try to create a strategy which adds SL and TP on filled orders, which are not created by a strategy, using ATR.

attached CS file contains 'onExecutionUpdate" , as far as I understand this is only working on strategy created orders? Also it causes an compiling error "no suitable method found to overwrite"

If its wrong anyways, the error doesnt matter.

Hello dennisj86,

Correct, OnExecutionUpdate() will only execute for orders submitted by the strategy.

You can instead use the Addon approach and add an event handler method to the <Account>.ExecutionUpdate event which will execute for all orders, even manual ones and ones from other strategies.

The ProfitCaseStopTrailIndicatorExample and ProfitChaseStopTrailAddonExample have code demonstrating adding an event handler to the <Account>.ExecutionUpdate event.
