SetProfitTarget and SetStopLoss - need event listeners?

[4dplane]

Hi, I've been working on a strategy for a few weeks now and I've made it this far with all the great posts and documentation, but today I have met my match! I need the ability to execute code when either my SetProfitTarget or SetStopLoss have been triggered. I've looked into methods such as OnOrderUpdate() and OnPositionUpdate() but SetProfitTarget and SetProfitTarget don't seem to work with iOrder...? Basically I need an eventListener that executes when the target or stop has been met. How can this be done

Thanks!

There is sample code for that available right in this forum.

Thank you very much! Sorry I missed the list of sample code, I had seen it a few weeks back and did a search but overlooked it.

I ended up using this for my current control of ProfitTarget and StopLoss:

 protected override void OnOrderUpdate(IOrder order){
            //If Profit Target was met-------------------
            if (order.OrderState == OrderState.Filled){
                if(order.Name == "Profit target"){
                    Print(order.ToString());
                }
            }
            //If stop loss was met-----------------------
            if (order.OrderState == OrderState.Filled){
                if(order.Name == "Stop loss"){
                    Print(order.ToString());
                }
            }
        }
