Trailing Stop, API

#1 Postby mspen » Wed Sep 10, 2008 4:05 pm

Is there a way to use or tune the trailing stop feature from the API? It has eluded me so far.

I am trying to do a ModifyOrder with my new calculated
stop. But I have the feeling this is superfluous.

Trailing stop is not accessible from API yet. You should modify StopLoss/TakeProfit by yourself.

Thanks, for the reply. I just didn't want to miss something that was right in front of me.

I just realized yesterday that Indicators are essentially function calls for Strategies. That one saved me a lot of time.

Great work.
