if the SL falls inside the spread hence in and cannot be placed. how can I avoid finding myself unprotected and losing much of the capital? how can I still trigger a new sl at the best and fastest possible price ?? thank you very much

Hi twoheartzin1soul,

If you want to avoid such a scenario, I would suggest to place the stoploss after the position is opened at a certain distance from the bid/ask price, to make sure that it falls outside the spread. You can use ModifyStopLossPrice() to do so.
