When I backtest this solution I get the following error:
Runtime Error: This asset symbol (USDCAD) was not found in your security list. Please add this security or check it exists before using it with 'Securities.ContainsKey("USDCAD")'
My Trades tab does show that my market order was filled. I assume that my market order is not updating my security list before I try to add the stop loss. What is the best practice for entering a stop loss on a new market order?

is this because you are calling "this.Symbol" is one and "symbol" in another? Are these the same variable?

+1 for James' comment :) Please also share the algorithm for better assistance, its hard to debug the issue with only the lines pasted above.

I started a new project and implemented the stop loss orders in the same manner (or at least the same manner that I'm INTENDING to in my main algorithm) and they worked fine, so this is definitely something in my algorithm and not a Lean problem. I'll keep plugging away at it -- thanks for the insight!

Great. Now you have a working version you could try and put both through a diff tool and maybe see where you went wrong and avoid it next time. Theres a lot to learn!
