cTrader 3.3 hasTrailingStop Backtest Issue
05 Dec 2018, 07:19
Hi there,
I have come across and issue where my ModifyPosition is not adding the “hasTrailingStop” to the position when it updates. Everything else works in the block of code, however the trailing stop is not activating in the backtesting in visual mode.
Is is this a known issue? I can post my piece of code for reference if needed.

private void SetBreakEvenAdjustment() { var allPositions = Positions.FindAll(Label + "2", Symbol); foreach (Position position in allPositions) { if (position.StopLoss != null) { var entryPrice = position.EntryPrice; var distance = position.TradeType == TradeType.Buy ? Symbol.Bid - entryPrice : entryPrice - Symbol.Ask; // move stop loss to break even plus and additional (x) pips if (distance >= BreakEvenPips * Symbol.PipSize) { if (position.TradeType == TradeType.Buy) { if (position.StopLoss <= position.EntryPrice + (Symbol.PipSize * BreakEvenExtraPips)) { ModifyPosition(position, entryPrice + (Symbol.PipSize * BreakEvenExtraPips), null, hasTrailingStop); Print("Stop Loss to updated set for BUY position {0}", Symbol.Code); } } else { if (position.StopLoss >= position.EntryPrice - (Symbol.PipSize * BreakEvenExtraPips)) { ModifyPosition(position, entryPrice - (Symbol.PipSize * BreakEvenExtraPips), null, hasTrailingStop); Print("Stop Loss to updated set for SELL position {0}", Symbol.Code); } } } } } }
Here is the code as requested. it seemed to have stopped working since the last update. I have the 'hasTrailingStop' boolean set to true as well.
