I am a beginner ACSIL user, but come a long way in 2 days. I have this //Declare variables to hold the array of values from the stoploss line studies
SCFloatArray SLlongRef; SCFloatArray SLshortRef; Then in other lines of code not shown here, I successfully populate these arrays with the study subgraph values that I want to use as stoploss prices. Using msg I have confirmed this works in the message log with some debug text. Then I experimented with this to use these array values as attached stop loss prices: //Attach SL - using study
NewOrder.AttachedOrderStop1Type = SCT_ORDERTYPE_STOP; NewOrder.Stop1Price = SLlongRef; NewOrder.Stop1Price_2 = SLshortRef; But I get a compiler error: SCFloatArray {aka c_ArrayWrapper<float>}
ORB_simple.cpp:77:27: error: cannot convert 'SCFloatArray' {aka 'c_ArrayWrapper<float>'} to 'double' in assignment Which Seems to tell me that "NewOrder.Stop1Price" is a Double not a Float? How do I solve this? Please excuse incorrect use of terminology. Date Time Of Last Edit: 2024-11-25 07:24:43

NewOrder.Stop1Price is a double, but you can assign a float value to it without issues. The problem is that SCFloatArray is an array of floats, not a float. You need to decide which of the array values you want to use. For example, the code below will use the current value in SLlongRef: NewOrder.Stop1Price = SLlongRef[sc.Index];
However, you may want to use the value from the prior bar: NewOrder.Stop1Price = SLlongRef[sc.Index - 1];
