Trailing Stop Attached Order

I'm trying to get a bot to set a trailing stop connected to an order, but I'm not having the result I wanted. My bot had gotten into a trade, but didn't seem to set the trailing stop like I thought it would. Am I doing something wrong? How can I get an attached trailing stop to work? I couldn't find anything that would give me a better result. Here is a sample of my code that gets in, but not out. s_SCPositionData PositionData; int Result = sc.GetTradePosition(PositionData); int PositionStatus = PositionData.PositionQuantity; int chartNumber = 3; if (PositionStatus <= 0 && sc.GetStudyPersistentIntFromChart(chartNumber - 1, 1, 1) == 1 && sc.GetStudyPersistentIntFromChart(chartNumber, 1, 1)) { // Go Long int Amount = (PositionStatus * -1) + 1; s_SCNewOrder GoLong; GoLong.OrderQuantity = Amount; GoLong.OrderType = SCT_MARKET; int Result = sc.BuyEntry(GoLong); if (Result > 0) { s_SCNewOrder TrailingStop; TrailingStop.OrderQuantity = PositionStatus; TrailingStop.OrderType = SCT_ORDERTYPE_TRAILING_STOP; TrailingStop.Price1 = sc.BaseData[SC_LAST][sc.Index] - TrailingStopTicks.GetInt()*sc.TickSize; sc.SellExit(TrailingStop); } } |

Is there a way to turn this into an attached order easily?

Refer to this section here for help for this: https://www.sierrachart.com/index.php?page=doc/doc_ACSILTrading.html#DebuggingTradingSystems You cannot later attach a Target or Stop order to another order. That must be done all at the same time. Sierra Chart Support - Engineering Level Your definitive source for support. Other responses are from users. Try to keep your questions brief and to the point.

That link shows me how to put the errors into the message log. Can you give me an example of how I can add in an attached trailing stop to my market order?

As we said in our previous post, this cannot be done at a later time.

I don't want it done at a later time. I want it done asap. How do I use attached orders? Or are attached orders in ACSIL impossible?

Refer to the ACSIL Trading page and the structure members for s_SCNewOrder.
