I am trying to figure out how to plot a sell when the stop loss sells the portfolio. It plots the sell when the indicator prompts a sell, but not when the stop loss sells. If I put the StopMarketOrder anywhere else or the "self.Plot("Trade Plot", "Sell", data[self.Firststock].Value)" it just wants to plot useless stuff, Looking to have it plot a sell red triangle either when my indicators sells or the stop loss sells. Couldn't find any documents or previous posts showing how to do this.
Thank you for your help

Hi Tate Linzel ,
When any order ticket changes its status (submitted, filled, cancel, etc), an order event is generated, and the OnOrderEvent method is called, so it's a good place to call Plot to record the stop market order:
def OnOrderEvent(self, orderEvent): if orderEvent.Status == OrderStatus.Filled: order = self.Transactions.GetOrderById(orderEvent.OrderId) if order.Type == OrderType.StopMarket: self.Plot("Trade Plot", "Sell", orderEvent.StopPrice)Tate Linzel
