SetStopLoss

[ScottB]

Is it possible to enter a negative number for the value in SetStopLoss and CalculationMode.Ticks? Alternatively, is it possible to switch CalculationMode from ticks to price while holding a position (that would actually be preferable)?

When a position is first entered, a fixed number of ticks is used then it jumps to a number of ticks based on some other criteria and then once a certain profit level is reached, it starts trailing.

Because you can't mix SetStopLoss with a trailing stop, once I get to the trailing stop level I still have to use SetStopLoss.

However, now I want a stop that is above (for a long) my entry so it would appear the stop loss in ticks is actually a negative number.

Yes, I know I can use price all along but because initally the price is going to be so close to the market, I have to jump through hoops to make certain I don't place a stop at the market which will give me an error and shut the strategy down.

Best Regards,
Scott
