SetProfitTarget SetStopLoss

Recommended Posts

Hi,

How do I set a profit target and stop loss for long, and different target and stop loss for short? Right now, I call setProfitTarget and setStopLoss, and they set a global target and stop loss.

 

Thanks

 

starting 2 threads and asking the same question twice is annoying,

it will not get you an answer any faster.

I would suggest you to start with a flowchart...

map out how you want the logic to work,

then code it accordingly.

I apologize for the double post. I didn't see the first post, so I thought I didn't click the appropriate buttons.

 

I know the logic that I want to implement. I don't know enough abut EasyLanguage to make the right function calls to set different stops and profit targets.

More less you can use something like this:

 

If marketposition>0 then begin
Setstopcontract;
setprofittarget(100);
setstoploss(100);
end;	

If marketposition<0 then begin
Setstopcontract;
setprofittarget(400);
setstoploss(400);
end;	

 

All the best,

you should not set global exits in conditions.
