Hi i am writing a code in nijatrader when I setup the stop loss I can only have a fixed stop loss price for example 10 ticks. However, what I want my stop loss to be is 2 candles prior low. instead of a fixed stop loss.

for example. Ninjatrade enters a Long trade the stop loss should be 2 candles prior low. this way the stop loss can be 5 ticks or 15 ticks. its always changing

Does anyone know how to write that kind of stop loss code in ninjatrader . thank you for your time

Try this one



if
(Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Long)
{

if enter condition

{

SetStopLoss(CalculationMode.Price, Low[2]);
}
}
