Hello,

Thank you for your post.

The syntax for the OnOrderUpdate method is incorrect.

protected override void OnOrderUpdate(Order order, double limitPrice, double stopPrice, int quantity, int filled, double averageFillPrice, OrderState orderState, DateTime time, ErrorCode error, string comment)
{

}

Please let us know if you have any further questions.

Here is a image of the error I keep getting at "line" 100: "Column" 33: I tried rearranging the order and I just can't get it to compile. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Below I provided the complete code. The code is basic, I am just trying to figure out how to code a trailing stop into the strategy.
