Hi Ron,

 

This is more code than it needs to be, but hopefully it makes a way to set Buy and Short fixed stops clear (please note: I wrote this for this as an example for this post and have not tested the code):

 

myBuyEntryPrice = ValueWhen(Buy,C);      // substitute equation for your buy entry price

myBuyStopPrice = Ref(LLV(L,FXLbak),-1);  // substitute equation for your buy stop price

 

myShortEntryPrice = ValueWhen(Short,C);  // substitute equation for your short entry price

myShortStopPrice = Ref(HHV(H,FXLbak),-1);// substitute equation for your short stop price

 

myBuyStop = myBuyEntryPrice - myBuyStopPrice;          // Buy stop in points

myShortStop = myShortStopPrice - myShortEntryPrice;    // Short stop in points

 

myStop = IIf(Buy,myBuyStop,IIf(Short,myShortStop,Null));

 

ApplyStop(stopTypeLoss, stopModePoint, myStop, 1);

 

Regards,

 

David

Hi David,

How would you code mystop if short and cover was also in the code
along with buy and sell?

Thx

Ron
