Hi,
a position is entered with such code:


s_SCNewOrder NewOrder;
NewOrder.OrderQuantity = sc.TradeWindowOrderQuantity;
NewOrder.OrderType = SCT_ORDERTYPE_MARKET;
NewOrder.TimeInForce = SCT_TIF_GOOD_TILL_CANCELED;
NewOrder.Target1Offset = sc.TickSize * Input_DefaultTargetTickDistance.GetInt();
NewOrder.Stop1Offset = sc.TickSize * Input_DefaultStopTickDistance.GetInt();
int Result = sc.BuyEntry(NewOrder);


How to create new code to place limit order to exit that position at entryprice + 3 ticks ?

Attempt with such code:


s_SCNewOrder NewOrder;
NewOrder.OrderQuantity = Quantity; // This is defined elsewhere
NewOrder.OrderType = SCT_ORDERTYPE_LIMIT;
NewOrder.TimeInForce = SCT_TIF_GOOD_TILL_CANCELED;
NewOrder.Price1 = entryPrice + sc.TickSize * 3;
int Result = sc.BuyExit(NewOrder);
