Automatic trading not compatiable combined stop

  Hi all,

   

  I am having difficulty with automatic trading, I am getting error message saying ‘combined stop cannot be used with ProOrder’.

  The formula I am using is…. // Stops and targets SET STOP %LOSS 0.8 pTRAILING 2.

  Is there anything I am missing here, I would love to get correction to my code if possible.

   

  Thanks

  Hi Jon,

  Combined stoploss and trailing stop is only possible in Probacktest.

  The best you can do here is to set your stoploss and then use a trailing stop function like the one I have posted in this blog article: http://www.prorealcode.com/blog/trading/complete-trailing-stop-code-function/
