Default stop order problem

I'm running a strategy that has a 2 percent from entry price simulated stop. When I run the strategy I specify stops per strategy position. Today when my strategy went short the es at 1096 a simulated stop (initialized state) was put in at 3288.00 which is 3 times 1096. What am I doing wrong?

Hello jrtrader,

When specifying in mode percent, you should use the decimal equivelent for the percentage you're looking for.
2% = .02
30% = .3
