Managed orders based on dynamic variables?

[philmg]

Hi,
I have defined TP and Stops as shown in the screenshot. The variables TPLong, TPShort, StopLong, StopShort take on the absolute price values for targets and stops in the conditions upon entry. However, both stops and targets are not executed when I test this strategy. What am I missing? Is it not possible to define the managed targets and stops based on variables?

Hello philmg,

Thank you for your post.

Dynamic stops and targets are not possible using the Strategy Builder's Stop and Targets screen. These are meant for static stops and targets.

If you wanted to use dynamic stops and targets in the Builder, you'll need to use exit methods. Below is a link to examples of dynamic breakeven and trailing action implemented in the Strategy Builder.

Or, if you want to stick to using set methods dynamically, you would need to unlock the script and call your set methods from OnBarUpdate() via manual coding. Below is a sample script that demonstrates.
