Script Does not set new Stop

[IkennaO 0]

Hi All

I'm having some issues with my DAS scripts. I have two scripts which given a current position and stop loss, sells/covers 50% of my position and sets a new stop loss. However there are times when the script will sell//]cover my position, but sometimes fail to set a new stop loss. This doesn't happen during replay mode, but will occasionally happen when I trade live using the simulated account.

Can someone tell me how to prevent this from happening? The scripts are detailed below. Thanks

 

 

Sell Percentage and move to Break Even

CXL ALLSYMB;ROUTE=LIMIT;Price=BID-0.05;Price=Round2;Share=Pos*.5;TIF=DAY+;SELL=Send;ROUTE=STOP;StopType=Market;StopPrice=AvgCost;Share=Pos;TIF=GTC;SELL=SEND

Cover Percentage and move to Break Even

CXL ALLSYMB;ROUTE=LIMIT;Price=ASK+0.05;Price=Round2;Share=Pos*.5;TIF=DAY+;BUY=Send;ROUTE=STOP;StopType=Market;StopPrice=AvgCost;Share=Pos;TIF=GTC;BUY=SEND

that is because your order was not filled quickly enough, you can solve it by adding wait(1000) or try the Triggerorder syntax after your Send; command
