fix a value

[Italy]

Good evening,
I should create a variable that stops me a value, for example, Low [4] and then calculate the stopLoss:

OnBarUpdate ()

if ((Close [0]> Close [1])

variable1 = Low [4]

In this way, the value does not stop.
How can I do?
Thank you.

Hello,

Where are you setting your stop loss? Is this in Initialize() or some where in OnBarUpdate()?

If you wish to dynamically assign a StopLoss value, this would have to be in a method such as OnBarUpdate that is called more frequently. Initialize() is only called once when the strategy is started.

You can also set your StopLoss in OnOrderUpdate() or OnExecution() to submit your protective orders. Please see our Reference Sample on this topic for more information:

Sorry, I was not clear in the request.
I write using Google Traslation.
I want to fix the value of a price assigned to a Variables in OnBarUpdate (). The price assigned I need then for use in another part of the code for deffinere the exit.
For example:

# region Positions
private void GoLong ()
{
SetStopLoss (CalculationMode.Price, Variable0 - (1 TickSize *)));
}
# endregion


protected override void OnBarUpdate ()



if (Close [0]> Close [1])
Variable0 = Low [1]; / / Low [1] = 8 (for example)

if (...........)
GoLong ();

I want to set the price 8 to use then in the region GoLong position (). SetStopLoss always take the value of Low [1] at that moment, instead of the value 8 fixed. How can I do to fix the value 8 ?

Ciao

Hello,

If you would just want a fixed value of 8 from your entry price, you would use the CalculationMode.Ticks and use a value of 8:

SetStopLoss (CalculationMode.Ticks, 8);

If you wanted it to be 8 ticks from the Low[1], you could use

SetStopLoss(CalculationMode.Ticks, Low[1] - (8 * TickSize));

set a value and do not update

Sorry Matthew,
I can not understand me.
I want that the value of the variable at the time the input is fixed with the value, for example of the Low [1]. Then later, I want to recall the value of the variable to determine the exit.
If I do:

# Region Positions
private void GoLong ()

{
SetStopLoss (CalculationMode.Price, Variable0 - (1 TickSize *)));
}
# endregion


protected override void OnBarUpdate ()



if (Close [0]> Close [1])
Variable0 = Low [1]; / / assign to variable0 the value of Low [1], at this time

if (...........)
GoLong ();

In this way, when the booster variabile0 some of the bars later, does not take the value previously assigned to the Variable0, but the Low [1] of the moment.
If low [1] for example was 8 (30 bars before), when calling the variable, the code does not take 8 but the value of Low [1] at the time.
How do I fix the value and do not update?
Thank you.

Hello,

Rather than referencing Low[1], you would need to locate the exact Low[barsAgo] value you wish to reference.

You can do this by creating a loop and storing that barsAgo value.
