Hello ace2240,

When running the script are you seeing your prints to indicate the break even logic is happening?

Hi Jesse,

No I am not. Please advise

Jesse,

I meant to say, there is no breakeven function currently. The whole strategy seems to fall apart when I try to add. Please advise on the best way to add it.

Hello ace2240,

If you haven't added a breakeven yet I would suggest looking at the following sample. In its OnBarUpdate it shows a simple break even logic and condition.

Hi Jesse,
I tried following the sample script but seems like it couldn't set the breakeven within the same candle as the entry candle, even if I have set `Calculate = Calculate.OnPriceChange`. Or at least that's what I see in the backtest and historical chart. The OnBarUpdate() method is always delayed by 1 candle right?

Hello npmq222,

You would need to test in realtime or using playback to be able to use OnPriceChange, historical tests are run OnBarClose so it will be delayed in historical when using OnBarUpdate.
