Hi SC, I wanted to use trailing stops, specifically triggered trailing stop which is SCT_ORDERTYPE_TRIGGERED_TRAILING_STOP_3_OFFSETS, as i understand from the documentation. Now in the case of attached stop order of this type, is there any variable/flag that can be monitored for when the trigger is met? Also, since it takes 3 offsets, am i correct in assuming we need to set the initial stop, the trigger price, and the trail price/offset which will be a price the intial stop moves to, and consequently trails, when the trigger price is met. Thanks in advance! |

We apologize for the delay here. is there any variable/flag that can be monitored for when the trigger is met? No but we can add this.Also, since it takes 3 offsets, am i correct in assuming we need to set the initial stop, the trigger price, and the trail price/offset which will be a price the intial stop moves to, and consequently trails, when the trigger price is met. Yes and in the case of Attached Orders these are always specified as offsets rather than exact price values. Refer to the ACSIL related documentation for this order type.

Hi SC, 1. SO the fields i will have to specify in case of attached stop order of triggered trail stop are: AttachedOrderStop1_TriggeredTrailStopTrailPriceOffset AttachedOrderStop1_TriggeredTrailStopTriggerPriceOffset and the third offset being stop1 offset. 2.Regarding the documentation i wanted to raise some concern. The documentation for the ACSIL TRADING, is lacking in some areas. Especially in the use of attached orders, the documentation refers to the trading window settings, and although its easy to guess the associated ACSIL parameters, it becomes a process of trial and error to check what works, and is sometimes frustrating. Also the trading study examples also give little instruction in terms of managing attached orders. Could we have a page detailing the parameters in ACSIL for order types and small examples. I understand if this would be too much work. 3. Itd be great if there could be a variable, that would indicate the trigger being met. I want to use the various order types you provide, for efficient order management in real time. 4. Lastly, I am working on a project that critically needs custom charts, but the documentation for the same is still being written. If you could instead, give me an example study to work with? Thanks for all your help! Date Time Of Last Edit: 2019-06-06 05:25:21

1. Refer to the updated documentation here for this order type: Automated Trading From an Advanced Custom Study: Order Type Constants 2. We have done some documentation updates now. If you have a specific question let us know. 3. This will be out in version 1933. It is documented here: Automated Trading From an Advanced Custom Study: [Type: integer] TriggeredTrailingStopTriggerHit 4. This documentation has been complete for a long time now. We took out that first paragraph. It was no longer relevant. Perhaps more explanations and details could be added to the documentation but there is a more than sufficient code example.
