trailing stop values

[ATI user]

I would like to pickup the value as a trailing stop changes

Is this possible?

Only using this for status and value when hit at this point..........


string[,] orders = GetAtmStrategyStopTargetOrderStatus("TARGET1", "idValue");

// Check length to ensure that returned array holds order information
if (orders.Length > 0)
{
for (int i = 0; i < orders.GetLength(0) - 1; i++)
{
Print("Average fill price is " + orders[i, 0].ToString());
Print("Filled amount is " + orders[i, 1].ToString());
Print("Current state is " + orders[i, 2].ToString());
}
}

Can you not use it to see its previous value and store it in a variable. If the recent call to it is different than your variable then you know something changed?

sorry Josh...don't understand your idea

the code I posted does not pickup a value unless the trailing stop is hit and filled...

I need the value while it is trailing and before it is hit so I can plot it on the chart in a strategy.

I want to see the trailing stop on the chart as if I was running Charttrader on an indicator

thanks

I see what you mean. Unfortunately I do not know if this is possible at the moment. Thank you for the suggestion.

Yes. I wish it was. Problem I am having is that I am so used to seeing the stops trail in Charttrader that I would like to have the same in a strategy...need the trailing stop values for that.

Right. I have forwarded the suggestion to development to see what they can do about this situation.

working now??? by error???

ok...here is a good one.

I am running a cs strategy that places order via an ATM strategy

for market orders placed, nothing plots on my normal chart...i.e. relative to the trailing stop.

however, for both stoplimit and limit orders, my normal chart (without my cs running but with charttrader running) shows both orders working as if placed manually in charttrader

now this is something I want to happen as i can then mover the orders around or cancel them.

question: is this by mistake?...or is this normal???....

it seems like it might be intermittent at this point...of course i would like to force it to happen at all times...also including the trailing stops for limit, stoplimit and market orders

This is expected since you can not run Chart Trader at the same time as running a strategy. You can open a second instance of the identical chart or run the strategy from the Strategy tab in the Control Center window.

success

thanks Ray

yes...i have tested this now and it runs perfectly....excellent feature

i can manage the strategy-chart-placed trades from an indicator-charttrader chart....i.e. rather than managing from the orders or strategies tabs...which is really confusing since I am running 9 strategy charts all placing orders...impossible...however, from charttrader, easy

absolutely perfect

thanks a lot for this one....best feature combo yet for me
