Hello, 

    order = engine.submitOrder("x" , Instrument.EURUSD, OrderCommand.BUY, 0.1, 0, 10, 10, 30,0,"EBIN");


the code posted above does not result in orders of 30 take-profit and 10 stop-loss.
Can someone show me a working corresponding code, please?

Thank you!

Hello,

1)Order label must be unique.
2)StopLoss and TakeProfit must be specified correctly.

ITick lastTick = history.getLastTick(Instrument.EURUSD);
order = engine.submitOrder("order" + System.currentTimeMillis(), Instrument.EURUSD, IEngine.OrderCommand.BUY, 0.1, 0, 10, lastTick.getAsk() - 10 * Instrument.EURUSD.getPipValue(),
                lastTick.getAsk() + 30 * Instrument.EURUSD.getPipValue(), 0, "EBIN");

Hello,

Thank you so much! You are a true hero! My understanding of the stop-loss and take-profit system was as showed above, I should have read the instructions more clearly. I am so glad that you helped me! I hope everything well for you in life!
