SetTrailStop with fromEntrySignal

wuilengh · 08-20-2012, 03:52 PM

If I want to use the built in SetTrailStop function with a take profit target which I will calculate manually in my code.

Assuming I call SetTrailStop with a fromEntrySignal and have it simulated rather than submitted after I enter a position, will this automatically be cancelled if my code submits an ExitLong with the same fromEntrySignal?

Just don't want to end up selling or covering twice the intended amount. Thanks!

Hello wuilengh,

If you are using the Managed Approach that would be correct. Make sure if you are dynamically changing the trailing stop to reset it once you are flat.
