Hello everyone,

my trade stoploss level is automatically set by this row:

 
Code
SetStopLoss("", CalculationMode.Percent, variable1, false);


At the same time I would let the strategy draw a line on the chart with this row:

 
Code
DrawHorizontalLine("My horizontal line" + CurrentBar, stopline, Color.Red);


Well... how can I get the numeric value of the stopline variable?

In other words:
 
Code
double stopline = ?!?!?

Two ways you could do this (and I'm sure there are others):

position.AvgPrice to get your avg fill price and then manually calculate the stop level

Or you could use IOrders to place your exits.

myIOrder.StopPrice

I'd provide links but it won't yet let me post links
