Cheers,

But is this so I can set the amount in dollars above the high or the amount in dollars it gains from the entry?

Would I have to put something like.

setstoploss (high + 10)

if I wanted 10 dollars above the high or what?

Lol, thanks once again.

Darknite.

No, the setstoploss is in dollar amount only from your entry point.

What you require is in the original script, but I suspect you must be using a larger timeframe and have come across occasions when your stop would have been taken out on your bar of entry, but since the code only sends the stop order out 1 bar after entry, you're taking a bigger hit. Would I be correct in thinking this?

If so then you would have to send out your order via a 1min chart ( using 3 sets of data ) ........... now where did I put that can of worms


Cheers
