setStopPrice with specific price

Postby 2723942214 » 03 Feb 2015

Hello all,

trying to place stop after entry which is easy with "setStopLoss" reserved word. but challenge is that it only uses dollar loss to set the stop.
Instead I'm trying to set the stop at an specific price. For example, entry was triggered and now setStopLoss at dollar amount of $22.50 (that could be low of last bar for example).

Thanks for the help in advance,
Al

Hello 2723942214,

At the moment there is no SetStopLoss with specific price. We are going to add a command for that in MultiCharts 9.1. Currently you can use regular Stop order with specific price.
