I'm trying to figure out the best way to approach this in ASCIL. Use Case: I have a trailing stopoffset of 8 points and when the contract profit reaches $500.0, I want the stopoffset to be 4 points. Whats the best way to handle it? Should I use triggered trailing step stop loss? Or write something myself to just update the stopoffset of the current stop order? |

int MoveStop(SCStudyInterfaceRef sc, const int OrderID, const double SetStopPrice)
{ // Look Up Stop Order to see if Open EXIT if not result = -1 s_SCTradeOrder TradeOrder; sc.GetOrderByOrderID(OrderID, TradeOrder); if (TradeOrder.OrderStatusCode != SCT_OSC_OPEN) { return -1; } // Look Up Previous Stop Price double PrevStop = TradeOrder.Price1; double NewStop = sc.RoundToTickSize(SetStopPrice, sc.TickSize); int result = 0; // Compare To SetStopPrice if Equal Result = 0 if (PrevStop == NewStop) { return 0; } // // Create ModifyOrder s_SCNewOrder ModifyOrder; ModifyOrder.InternalOrderID = OrderID; ModifyOrder.Price1 = NewStop; result = sc.ModifyOrder(ModifyOrder); return result; } |
