Are you referring to the money management tool?

No, I want to be able to use a rule to manually stop a position and be sure it stops at a certain price.

Sell using limit order at the price of: iff( rule , limit price 1, limit price 2)

the rule is: (low < entry - (entry*0.05)).

How do I retrive the price at which the position was entered?

Thanks

Best Answer
In order to perform this, you should use the money management tool:
In the "OnClosePosition" event, add the following code:

MMExitPosition pos = Functions.GetPositionDetails();
TimeSeries low = Data.GetPriceSeries(pos.Symbol, "low");
if(low[0] < pos.EntryPrice - (pos.EntryPrice * 0.05))
{
double limitPrice1 = low[0]; // Update this field
int orderValid = 10; // 10 days
_TradingOrder order = Orders.LimitOrder(limitPrice1, 0, orderValid);
Functions.UpdateOrder(order);
}
else
{
double limitPrice2 = low[0]; // Update this field
int orderValid = 10; // 10 days
_TradingOrder order = Orders.LimitOrder(limitPrice2, 0, orderValid);
Functions.UpdateOrder(order);
}

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.
