Stop loss in automated strategy

[raycam]

Hi all. My strategy is working well only last night I realized a glitch in my setup. I have two ways to exit a trade- the first is a 16 tick stop loss and then if price crosses a MA it exits the position. The idea is that often when a trade opportunity arises it is close to the MA exit line. I watched the trade progress and it stopped out at 9 ticks when it crossed the MA but would have gone on to be a highly profitable trade if it had kept the 16 tick stop loss.
Is there a way of setting it so that the MA exit is not triggered to exit in the initial stages?
Thanks

raycam, I think you can work with the 'Unrealized (Open) PnL' for this, just use the MA trail only when profit is higher than amount X

Thanks mate- I will give it a go!

Having trouble with this.
In my set 3 of conditions and actions I have the following...
"Position.MarketPosition==MarketPosition.Short
CrossAbove(Close,SMA(32),1)"

When I click add and select "Unrealized PnL" Currency >= Numeric value of 100
I end up with this...
"Position.GetProfitLoss(Close(0), PerformanceUnitCurrency)>=100"

Is that how it is supposed to look so that when a trade is entered it will rely on my set stop loss until profitable to $100- at which point the SMA comes into play.

Hope this makes sense.

And even in the wizard things are blurry.

That is the correct listing for Unrealized PnL.
