HI There;


When i place a position initially i am able to place a SL value which is great.

When the position gets profits > 1 USD i call the TRADE_ACTION_SLTP to move/adjust the SL to a value 50% betweeen the current position data rate and the positions rate. Meaning +- 50cents.


i fail in my code due to the system complaining about trailing stops.

but it does not make sense because i have tried it on huge profit instruments exceeding 3 USD and still unable to adjust.


Please Help.


Thank you William ;-) 

 

It is fixed !


Thanks.

 

Don't do that. Someone searching might find this thread and still be clueless. What was the problem? What solved what?
