Error generated by jumping stops

[latkinso]

Hi Ray and crew

I am curious how to solve this problem which
occurs more often than not.

I have a strategy that when triggers entry order,
places stop 2 ticks above trigger bars for long entry,
2 ticks below entry bar for short entry, Problem arises
when stop price is jumped (i am using range bars), then
i receive an error message that cannot enter buy stops
below market price and the program aborts.

Any suggestions

Thanks

Could you post an image and point to a bar where this can occur?

Requested image

The bar that this occurred on today, subsequently went
below the stop level and would not show you anything.

I will fwd the log and trace for you to take a look at,
and next occurrence will try to snap a picture for you.

Thanks

No need for a log. This is not a bug but a really limitation of what you want to do. I just want to see an image so I can suggest any potential workarounds.

Possible solution

Hi Ray

Would a possible solution be:

Instead of enter long at high of entry bar +2 ticks stop

add another condition that if hits triggerbar high +2 ticks, then enter
market?

This way could not have stop trying to enter below market, I think

Yes, for sure that would work.
