I was banging my head on the table until I realized the old sc.BuyOrder/sc.SellOrder functions in the examples were replaced with sc.BuyExit and sc.SellExit. New ACSIL example to set a trailing stop for an existing order: int RC; //Return Code
s_SCNewOrder NewOrder; s_SCPositionData PositionData; sc.GetTradePosition(PositionData); if(PositionData.PositionQuantity == 0) {return;} //no position to work with NewOrder.Reset(); //good idea to do this if it's in a loop NewOrder.OrderType = SCT_ORDERTYPE_TRAILING_STOP; NewOrder.TimeInForce = SCT_TIF_GTC; if(PositionData.PositionQuantity > 0) { //long position NewOrder.OrderQuantity = PositionData.PositionQuantity; NewOrder.Price1 = PositionData.AveragePrice - 0.001; //10pips below RC = sc.BuyExit(NewOrder); //BuyExit to exit an existing long } else { //short position NewOrder.OrderQuantity = PositionData.PositionQuantity * -1.0; //keep it positive NewOrder.Price1 = PositionData.AveragePrice + 0.001; //10pips above RC = sc.SellExit(NewOrder); //SellExit to exit an existing short } if(RC < 0) {sc.AddMessageToLog(sc.GetTradingErrorTextMessage(RC), 0);} //log errors |
