Hi SC Engineering

Im a novice and hit a brick wall.

I have a working version of my autotrader, and i had a "bright idea" of tweaking it (outlined in the attached explanation text file)

I have the following iteration of my tweaks, and it provides several horrific looking errors and a failed build.

I feel it may be something "obvious" but for more experienced eyes, so would appreciate the help.

#include "sierrachart.h"
#include <unordered_map>
#include <chrono>

struct TradeInfo
{
std::chrono::time_point<std::chrono::steady_clock> startTime;
double startPrice;
bool tradeEntered;
int positionType; // 1 for buy, -1 for sell
bool stopMovedToBreakeven;
bool trailingStopActivated;
int stopOrderID;
};

std::unordered_map<int, TradeInfo> g_TradeInfo;

void PlaceBracketOrder(SCStudyInterfaceRef& sc, TradeInfo& tradeInfo, int positionType, int orderQuantity, double price, int stopLossTicks, int takeProfitTicks)

order.Stop1Offset = stopLossTicks * sc.TickSize;

order.AttachedOrderTarget1Type = SCT_ORDERTYPE_LIMIT;
order.AttachedOrderStop1Type = SCT_ORDERTYPE_STOP;

int result = (positionType == 1) ? sc.BuyEntry(order) : sc.SellEntry(order);
