no edit summary
Forces the built-in strategy exit functions to be applied on per contract or share basis. The built-in strategy exit functions are: [[SetStopLoss , SetProfitTarget , SetBreakEven , SetDollarTrailing ,]] and [[SetPercentTrailing.]]
==The built-in strategy exit functions are: [[SetStopLoss]], [[SetProfitTarget]], [[SetBreakEven]], [[SetDollarTrailing]], and [[SetPercentTrailing]]. == Usage ====
<syntaxhighlight>SetStopContract</syntaxhighlight>
==== Notes ==== * If [[SetStopPositonSetStopPosition]], '''SetStopContract''',]] and [[SetStopShare]] were not used, the exit functions will be applied on the entire position basis as a default.  * If [[If SetStopPositonSetStopPosition]], '''SetStopContract''',]] and [[SetStopShare]] were used in multiple instances or in different signals applied to the same chart, the last instance will be controlling.
==== Example ====
Force the SetStopLoss strategy exit function to be applied on per contract basis:
 
<syntaxhighlight>SetStopContract;
SetStopLoss(10);</syntaxhighlight>
 
An exit order for the entry will be generated if the loss per contract reaches $10.
