Hi, in the current Algo I keep working on I am trying to set a Limit Profit Target when I initiate my Market Order. It is for Forex EURUSD. Could someone assist me on how to set the profit target say 20 pips away. I have attached my code example and appreciate any input. Thanks!

var profitTarget = trade.Open + 20 pips // I know that's not correct but this is the part I'm having trouble with
LimitOrder("EURUSD", -100000, profitTarget, "Profit Target Set");

You could use
var open = Securities[symbol].Open; LimitOrder(symbol, -1000000, open * 1.002m);Here is an example

Hi Jing,
Thanks again for answering. I was missing the "m" after 1.002. Little things like help dramatically. Thanks!
