PlaceLimitOrder / PlaceStopOrder with a start price
PlaceLimitOrder / PlaceStopOrder with a start price
19 Feb 2019, 10:48
Hi cTrader community
I am a bit confused and I hope to find a solution here.
When I work manually on a graph, I am able to place a limit order or stop order with a set price. When the market reaches this price, the order is opened and executed when the according stop loss or take profit is reached.
When I try to achieve the same in cAlgo using the PlaceLimitOrder() or PlaceStopOrder(), I am only able to define a targetPrice and not a startPrice.
How can I achieve the exact same action in cAlgo than I can achieve manually? How can I specify the start price and not the target price?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Adrian

Thank you Ton for your response.
According to the API reference, PlaceStopLimitOrder does also take "targetPrice" and not "startPrice" as Parameter -> https://ctrader.com/api/reference/robot/placestoplimitorder

Hi Adrian,
Thanks for posting in our forum. I am not sure what do you mean when you say start price. The target price is the price at which the pending order will be triggered. You can add a SL and TP on that order separately.
Best Regards,
