hi, i'm not a programer but i've literally spent the last three weeks trying to solve this one problem for one of my strategy and i cant seem to get it to work properly. NT support blows as they suggest me hiring a consultant.

here is what i'm trying to do:

when I enter the position, enter a limit stoploss (this works fine)
if high[0] > target1, then move my stoploss to avg.price
if high[0] > target2, then move my stoploss to target1
if high[0] > target3, then move my stoploss to target2

i have read bigmike's video totorial on something very similar to this but his tutorial is based on three contracts, my intend is to only buy 1 contract and modify it's stoplosses as market conditions change.

I have tried several things to get this to work properly but nothing works, it seems the orders are being submitted in the tracelog but during my backtest it's not executing any of my stoplosses:

 
Code 
private void GoLong()
		{
			SetStopLoss("target1", CalculationMode.Price, Close[0] - (Stop*TickSize), false);		
			EnterLong("target1");
		}
		
		private void ManageOrders()
		{
			if (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Long)
			{
				if (Close[0] > Position.AvgPrice + (Target1*TickSize))
					SetStopLoss("target2", CalculationMode.Price, Position.AvgPrice, false);
			}
		}
		private void ManageOrder2()
		{
			if (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Long)
			{
				if (Close[0] > Position.AvgPrice + ((Target1+Target2)*TickSize))
					SetStopLoss("target3", CalculationMode.Price, Position.AvgPrice + (Target1*TickSize), false);
			}		
		}
		private void ManageOrder3()
		{
			if (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Long)
			{
				if (Close[0] > Position.AvgPrice + ((Target1+Target2+Target3)*TickSize))
					SetStopLoss("target3", CalculationMode.Price, Position.AvgPrice+ ((Target1+Target2)*TickSize), false);
			}		
		}
and then i've dropped manageorders, manageorder2, manageorder3 in onbarupdate();

as you can clearly see that my original stoploss is being set correctly, but when my conditions in manageorders, manageorder2 and manageorder3 are being true, it is being recognized in tracelog? but the order is not being submitted.

any ideas what's going on.

thank you in advance.

i have also tried this:

 
Code 
		private void GoLong()
		{
			SetStopLoss("stop1", CalculationMode.Price, Close[0] - (Stop*TickSize), false);		
			EnterLong(DefaultQuantity,"");
		}
		
		private void ManageOrders()
		{
			if (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Long)
			{
				if (High[0] > Position.AvgPrice + (Target1*TickSize))
					SetStopLoss("target11", CalculationMode.Price, Position.AvgPrice, false);
			
			
				if (High[0] > Position.AvgPrice + ((Target1+Target22)*TickSize))
					SetStopLoss("target22", CalculationMode.Price, Position.AvgPrice + (Target1*TickSize), false);
			
			
				if (High[0] > Position.AvgPrice + ((Target1+Target22+Target3)*TickSize))
					SetStopLoss("target33", CalculationMode.Price, Position.AvgPrice+ ((Target1+Target22)*TickSize), false);
			}		


		}
this one is super weird, as the tracelog shows that the stoploss is being set, but the stoploss is never hit even though price plummets right through it

NT support blows as they suggest me hiring a consultant.

This is a reasonable suggestion considering NT support is not in the business of helping customers write their code.

At first glance it appears you are using "fromEntrySignal" incorrectly. From the documentation:

"The entry signal name. This ties the stop loss exit to the entry and exits the position quantity represented by the actual entry."

EDIT: Hint, they need to match your entries or discard them.

thx for the reply

i respect your opinion, i for one think that they sell a product and charge people money for it, they should support it. i font want to hand over my strategy to a ''consultant.'' i think that's crazy.

and i'm sorry i'm not understanding your hint!

You need to match your "target#" with an equivalent entry:

EnterLong(DefaultQuantity, "target1");

or

EnterShort(DefaultQuantity, "target1");

or leave the signal name empty ("") for both entries and SetStopLoss(). They need to match or discard them.
