Hello,

I have an automated trading strategy that sends limit order as take profit and stop loss: is there a way to reproduce "take profit" and "stop loss" orders during an ACSIL trading system ? Is there some exemple ?

Thank you

Hello,

thank you for your response.

I would like to send LIMIT ORDERS but I just cannot figure out how to do this using SC.
For instance: once and only once the LONG trigger signal is true send a LIMIT order (the parent order) to the market; once and only once the parent order has been complitely filled or partialy filled send to the market the STOP LOSS and the TAKE PROFIT order.

Well, is there the possibility to do this ? If yes, where can I find a sample code ?

Thank you a lot in advance

In the case of ACSIL you need to set s_SCNewOrder:: OrderType to the limit order type. This is documented here:
https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_ACSILTrading.html#s_SCNewOrder

And also in the same order structure you can specify Target and Stop offsets.

You can find lots of examples in /ACS_Source/tradingsystem.cpp

Not sure why that file is not there. It is automatically installed. If you update Sierra Chart with Help >> Download Prerelease you should get it.

Let us know if it still is missing after that.
