stops with variable distance

[tonynt]

Hello,

my stops do not work as they should. I try to have them "variable" and not with fixed distance in ticks.

When I try to use

a.) the low of the current bar and the bar before it doesnt work
ctlow1=Low [0] - (3*TickSize);
ctlow2=Low [1] - (3*TickSize);
SetStopLoss("kLa", CalculationMode.Price, Math.Min(ctlow1,ctlow2), false);

b.) and also when I change eg to Donchian3 it doesnt work
stop1=DonchianChannel(3).Lower[1]-3*TickSize;
SetStopLoss("kLb", CalculationMode.Price, stop1, false);

What I´m doin wrong?

Thank you.
Tony

Tony,

Where in the script are you changing these values?

Can you provide the script that you are using so I can review this further?

Hello,

thank you for your reply. I do in onbarupdate the following snippets and testing and testing. But the stop is not accurate where it should be. Sometimes its 3 TicksBelow the Low, sometimes its at the low....

#region Trade Management Logic - Stops

//entrypriceLong=GetAtmStrategyPositionAveragePrice( atmStrategyId);
stop1=DonchianChannel(3).Lower[1]-3*TickSize;
ctlow1=Low [0] - (3*TickSize);
ctlow2=Low [1] - (3*TickSize);
ctlow3=MIN(Low, 3)[0] - (3*TickSize);
stop1=DonchianChannel(3).Lower[1]-3*TickSize;

if (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Flat)
{

SetStopLoss("kLa", CalculationMode.Price, Math.Min(ctlow1,ctlow2), false);
SetStopLoss("kLb", CalculationMode.Price, ctlow3, false);
SetStopLoss("kLc", CalculationMode.Price, stop1, false);

Thank you.

Tony,

I don't quite follow along, could you please provide more information as below?

Where and when are you seeing the Stop not get adjusted when you run this strategy?

Where else are you setting these orders with the prices?

I'm assuming that you are modifying the price somewhere else and then resetting it back.
