stop loss settings
« on: 18 Jan 2014, 19:53 »
Hi , is there anyway to make my stop loss a bit less" twitchy ". I want it to only kick in if a selections price has risen above ( bm_backp*1.2 ) for more than 2 seconds before it fires rather than the instant that price has been reached in the market.
Any help would be most gratefully received.

Hi
In the attached file:
remember when the condition is met the first time
delay 2 seconds
check the condition a second time in the stoploss

In the trigger file I have used Write to Action Log. You need to make this your stoploss trigger using the conditions as shown. You should also define your selection.
There is a constant you can set for the delay.

Please test it in test mode.

hi
the trigger   This will be your stoploss trigger - use the conditions as shown
has a condition that is NOT complete

Trigger Unknown number of runs is greater that 0

where is says   Unknown   you need to add the triggers name

it should be

and trigger Check stoploss 1st time number of runs is greater that 0

Hi
Please try the attached amended trigger file in test mode.
I have added some additional relevant conditions now I can see the context of the stoploss usage.

Just a note on testing observation. Where the price moves very quickly towards the end of a race, the delay and the second check works against you. By the time the second check is completed and the stoploss fires, the lay prices are sometimes around 500 or higher. I would say this trigger will work better in longer length races.
