Hello, I am trying to update Buy Exit NewOrder structure to send a limit order for the SC_LAST + 3 ticks: if (Input1.GetIndex() == 0 || Input1.GetIndex() == 2) { int& lastBuyEntryBar = sc.GetPersistentInt(3); int& lastBuyExitBar = sc.GetPersistentInt(3); if (SIGNAL[sc.Index] == string("BUY")) { s_SCNewOrder NewOrder; NewOrder.OrderType = SCT_ORDERTYPE_LIMIT; NewOrder.Price1 = sc.BaseDataIn[SC_LAST][sc.Index]; NewOrder.OrderQuantity = 100; NewOrder.TimeInForce = SCT_TIF_IMMEDIATE_OR_CANCEL; int Result = int(sc.BuyEntry(NewOrder)); if (Result > 0) { BuyEntrySubgraph[sc.Index] = sc.BaseDataIn[SC_LAST][sc.Index]; lastBuyEntryBar = sc.Index; } else sc.AddMessageToLog(sc.GetTradingErrorTextMessage(Result), 1); } if (SIGNAL[sc.Index - 1] == string("BUY")) { s_SCNewOrder NewOrder; NewOrder.OrderType = SCT_ORDERTYPE_LIMIT; NewOrder.OrderQuantity = 0; NewOrder.Price1 = sc.BaseDataIn[SC_LAST][sc.Index] + 3*sc.TickSize; NewOrder.TimeInForce = SCT_TIF_DAY; int Result1 = int(sc.BuyExit(NewOrder)); if (Result1 > 0) { BuyExitSubgraph[sc.Index] = sc.BaseDataIn[SC_LAST][sc.Index] + 3*sc.TickSize; lastBuyExitBar = sc.Index; } else sc.AddMessageToLog(sc.GetTradingErrorTextMessage(Result1), 1); The portion in bold is what I have added. This is not working and the Trade Service Log says that the Buy Exit signal is being ignored. Can you help please? If i do not include the "+ 3*sc.TickSize", then the Buy Exit happens on the same bar as the Buy Entry, which is useless. Thanks. |

You sure its not because of you have order size set to 0? NewOrder.OrderQuantity = 0;
