I am trying to apply what I learned in the Trailing Stop Loss bootcamp lesson but having an issue.
When I set UpdateFields with my new stoploss, it does not actually apply the new stop loss to the existing order; am I doing something wrong or is this because stop market orders aren't supported for Forex?

I apologize - I misread the documentation; a MarketOrder must be placed for a StopMarketOrder to attach to

Hello Mitch,
Yes, a StopMarketOrder has to go with a MarketOrder. We are so glad that you solved the bug yourself. If you need further help, please feel free to contact us. Thanks!
