In disbelief that there are no post on this subject
After searching all the blogs and Google-ing every variation of my question for the last 2 days...
I have
a) NOT found the answer,
b) Am in disbelief that there are no post on the subject,
c) Will be very Impressed to say the least at whomever can answer the question
Not to mention GRATEFUL!
Need CODE on How to SET A FIXED HARD STOP (not a trailing) that is X # of PIPs above or below (LX/SX) my EntryPrice?
ie: if Currentprice = entryprice +10 pips {or+$50} then Set STOPLOSS at entryprice +5 pips{or +$25}
So say we're in Long YMZ12 @ 12,940
as soon as (if/when) the price goes to 12,950
Set a HARD Fixed STOP at 12,945
(It seems so simple I almost feel silly asking! Again still in disbelief post doesn't exist/ that I have not found it)
I have tried all the "out of the box" Tradestation codes and tried making variations to each to no avail.
It's currently 12:53 Eastern time, way past my bedtime... Reaching out to the "collective consciousness" and looking forward to being a little kid again at X-mas waking up to the BEST Present "THE PERFECT ANSWER!" For both long and short exits.
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
from your description, you have already coded it yourself ! easylanguage is that easy: just add the semi-colon at the end of the sentence and viola, you have your code.
Tradestation put out a few free books on how to program with Easy Language. The versions I have are from 2004, but they helped me a ton to do things like this, and learn Easy Language.
You should be able to find these pdf books "Getting Started With Tradestation Easy Language" and "Easy Language Reference Guide" on TS website. If you can't, PM me and I'll send you the old versions I have.
