QUANTCONNECT COMMUNITY
Hello all,
I was wondering if someone could help me with this :
Let's say we have a stop buy and a stop sell assigned on for "SPY". I want to find the breakout day (the day the stop buy was filled) and use it to assign a new stop sell value. The new stop sell value being equal to the 5 day low closing price prior to breakout day (breakout day included). (Daily resolution)
Thanks, I appreciate it.

Hey Amine Kouta ,
We can use the OnOrderEvent method to make the changes when the stop buy is filled. OnOrderEvent is an event handler, which is fired every time there is an order event. To get the 5 day low, we can use a history call to find the minimum of the trade bar close prices.
Please find an example below that can be used as a starting point for your algorithm.
