which code should be use for enter a long position and set a stop market order?

[LadGta2018]

Is there one order method to do the 2 things below:

1. enter a long order with market price
2. set a stop market order

Thanks!

I tried EnterLongStopMarket(1, StopPrice), but doesnt' work.
I want to long 1 position in market price, and if price drop to StopPrice, exit in market price.

Hello LadGta2018,

Thanks for your post.

If you use the set methods (SetStopLoss() or SetTrailStop() and/or SetProfitTarget()) upon an entry order fill, these methods will automatically place orders for your stop/target. These are automatically OCO tied so if one fills the other is canceled.

If you use the same stop and/or profit target on every order then you can code these methods once in state.configure and they will be ready and applied immediately upon a filled entry so this would meet your needs of placing one order and then having a stop in place and a target.

Please review the documentation of these methods along with the overall guide of the Managed Approach (linked below) as there are some restrictions and considerations for successful use.
