Offset for Enter...Stop()

[koganam]

A parameter for an offset is needed for EnterLongStop() and EnterShortStop(), so we can mimic completely what we do in the SuperDOM using ATM strategies.

While we are about it, there is an error in the Help Guide for EnterLongStop(). The Parameters table lists "limitPrice" instead of "stopPrice".

Koganam,

Thanks for the forum post.

You actually would use a different method for stop limit orders for entry where yo can specify the stop limit offset expressed in the the stop price and the limit order price parameters.

I will forward the typo on the help guide thanks for spotting.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

Banging head on the desk, koganam says: "RTFM before you spout off"

You already have it, which I would have seen if I had read the manual to see all the order types.

Thanks for the response.

This is the feature what I've been desperately looking for ! :-) Just to clarify, would this EnterLongStopLimit() function also work with negative offset, like offset -3 in a Long trade; eg. Stop=100.0, Limit=99.7?

Thx!

Absolutely!

EDIT 1/30/2012 - You cannot use negative offset with any NinjaScript order command unfortunately.

Now I feel a bit better that I am not the only one who did not RTFM. Misery loves company.
