Keeping in mind I want a trailing stop, what is the difference between using the code that you recommended: ewOrder.OrderType = SCT_ORDERTYPE_MARKET; NewOrder.TimeInForce = SCT_TIF_GOOD_TILL_CANCELED; NewOrder.Target1Offset = 8*sc.TickSize; NewOrder.Stop1Offset = 8*sc.TickSize; NewOrder.AttachedOrderStop1Type = SCT_ORDERTYPE_TRAILING_STOP; NewOrder.OCOGroup1Quantity = 1; // If this is left at the default of 0, then it will be automatically set. and NewOrder.OrderType = SCT_ORDERTYPE_TRAILING_STOP; NewOrder.Price1 = sc.BaseData[SC_LAST][sc.Index] + 10*sc.TickSize; NewOrder.Target1Offset = 20 * sc.TickSize; I see in backtests that using Price1 doesn't always hold, and trades don't get exited when they should. Is that the difference? Date Time Of Last Edit: 2017-01-16 13:33:16
