Hi All,

I am attempting to set up a strategy that opens from a pending order.

Once the order is filled, I would like to adjust the stop loss to the low/high of the bar that the order was filled on.

I know that the stop loss can only be adjusted once the bar the order was filled on has been completed but I am not sure how to apply the logic for this.

Can anyone help? :)

Thanks for your response Dirk.

However, with the method above, I am finding that the stop loss is applied on the bar that filled the order before it closes so it is not the actual low but the low at the time that the order was filled.

once the order is filled is it possible to delay the command to apply the stop loss until the bar is complete therefore it will be the true high/low of the bar?
