Reference to entryprice in strategy

Hi,

Is it possible to make a reference to the entryprice in a strategy? It's for a stoploss.

For example :

sell=entryprice-close>10;

I have tried this with sell=drawdown()>10; But this does not work. It does not exit.

Regards,

Dennis

The strategy formula is executed to generate signals and thus it doesn't have access to entry prices.

For a stoploss, you just need to use the built-in stop-loss function
SetSimStop(_StopLoss, _Point, 10, 0); // Stop loss $10
