Thread: Stoploss and Take profit.

(Trading Gurus, please stay out of this thread)

Hello,

I am entering a Range Order using:

Code:
buy_order.Generate(Bars.CloseValue + (5*pipSize), Bars.CloseValue - (5*pipSize));Setting a range +/- 5 pips from the close... this works under Build 282.

Could someone provide a code example for setting the Stop and TakeProfit?

Replies I have see thus far do not set the VALUE of the Stop and Limit... I am NOT talking about a BuyStop or BuyLimit order... I simply want to be able to set the STOPLOSS and TAKE PROFIT values of the Order that is filled.


Thanks for the help.

To be placed after your code for creating the position....


GenerateProfitTarget(YOUR TAKE PROFIT PRICE);
GenerateStopLoss(YOUR STOP LOSS PRICE);

Thank you jd.

How do I get the Order Filled price? I would like to calculate the stops from the filled price. Is there an object that holds the most recent order information?
