little problem with stoploss..
30 Oct 2018, 12:05

hello, i'm trying to make a stoploss that is been placed likt this:

buy: stoploss below MarketSeries.Low.Last(1)

sell: stoploss above MarketSeries.High.Last(1)

 

the stoploss on the buy part works perfect buy i have an issue with the stoploss for sell

 

the stoploss for a sell trade is not placed ABOVE MarketSeries.High.Last(1).. but BELOW MarketSeries.High.Last(1)

 

can someone fix this for me?

 

         protected override void OnBar()
        {
            var stopLossBuy = MarketSeries.Low.Last(1) - Symbol.PipSize * SL;
            var SLBuy = Math.Round((Symbol.Ask - stopLossBuy) / Symbol.PipSize);

            var stopLossSell = MarketSeries.High.Last(1) - Symbol.PipSize * SL;
            var SLSell = Math.Round((Symbol.Bid - stopLossSell) / Symbol.PipSize);
            {
                if (................................)
                {
                    ExecuteMarketOrder(TradeType.Buy, Symbol, VolumeInUnits, label, SLBuy, null);
                }
                else if (..............................)
                {
                    ExecuteMarketOrder(TradeType.Sell, Symbol, VolumeInUnits, label, SLSell, null);
                }

Hi jelle2500,

Try this line of code

var SLSell = Math.Round((stopLossSell - Symbol.Bid) / Symbol.PipSize);

var stopLossSell = MarketSeries.High.Last(1) + Symbol.PipSize * SL;
