At entry I want to set the stop loss for a trade. It will be a fixed dollar value based on standard deviation and price trends. Therefore stop loss will be a different value for each security. I can compute the %age but will not be able to use the SimStop value update function. Any ideas?

For a dollar value use:
SetSimStop(_StopLoss, _Point, [formula], 0);

For a percentage value use:
SetSimStop(_StopLoss, _Percent, [formula], 0);

Trading financial instruments, including foreign exchange on margin, carries a high level of risk and is not suitable for all investors. The high degree of leverage can work against you as well as for you. Before deciding to invest in financial instruments or foreign exchange you should carefully consider your investment objectives, level of experience, and risk appetite. The possibility exists that you could sustain a loss of some or all of your initial investment and therefore you should not invest money that you cannot afford to lose. You should be aware of all the risks associated with trading and seek advice from an independent financial advisor if you have any doubts.
