Good morning,

following the trading examples in the ACS_Source folder I have been able to make my first simple example system, which after backtesting seems to be working as I want it to. I have one question about the stop loss however: It has been set like this: StopValue.SetFloat(1.0f); I'm not sure what this 1.0 represents. FUrthermore, looking into the order documentation page I couldn't find anything related to it. What does this represent? And how could I set my stop in ticks, say I wanted the stop loss to be 50 ticks away from the entry.

Thank you for your help.
