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?

Best Answer

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

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