Adjust stoploss in strategy

[richbois]

Hi

I have a working strategy that places an order and then uses ATM strategy to place target and stoploss

I can use the strategy to move the stop and targets and that too is working

My question is how can I find out what is the price of the 1st stoploss when the ATM places it

Reason behind that is that since the movement of the stop is based on calculations I don't want the system to move it beyond a preset number of ticks

I hope I was able to explain that properly

Thank you in advance

While there isn't a supported way to check the starting price of the ATM stop via code if you knew the properties of the ATM you could create a custom tracking variable to update accordingly.

You can also use this for checking the status: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...rgetorders.htm

Let me know if I can further assist.

I am using the status to trace the status and to modify the stops and targets. However I cant see the way to know what the price of the original stop was.

the ATM will set that stop at x ticks from entry but that could vary from instrument to instrument. that is way I need to know the price set when the trade was filled.

you said "if you knew the properties of the ATM you could create a custom tracking variable to update accordingly" any further clues that could help??? I believe I know the ATMstrategy ID

AtmStrategyCreate(Cbi.OrderAction.Buy, OrderType.Market, 0 ,0, TimeInForce.Day, orderIdB, "test " + vInstrument + m_NumberOfLots, atmStrategyIdB);

The stop will always be placed X ticks away from the average fill price. You can use this to get the average fill price and then use that to determine the initial stop price
