The code above generates an error about stop limit can't be greater.... If S1=12 and S1-1=11 ticks from entry, how would the stop limit be greater and generate an error? What is the best way to stop at exactly 12 ticks from entry. I do not want to use a market order after stop is reached.
Thanks

Ok, here's the Buy code.... So why would this error occur and what do I need to do to fix it?

Hello kenb2004,
If you try the below code then can you get it work correctly.

if (Position.Quantity == 3 && Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Long){
ExitLongStopLimit(3, Position.AvgPrice - S1 * TickSize, 
Position.AvgPrice - (S1[B]-[/B]1) * TickSize, "Buy_Stop1", "");
}

[kenb2004]

I was just looking at the Buy code. I think that (S1+1) should be (S1-1), same as the sell code. Do you agree?

Hello kenb2004,
Yes, that is the case.
