I have been successfully in up loading trades to the C2 system using signal entry API.  
  
  
  
What I am having a problem with is stoploss adjustments. I was practicing intra-day adjustments. Each time I send a stoploss adjustment, the C2 turns around and sells it at market. My URL code looks correct, because it is getting entered into the C2 database. It’s the stoploss I am having a problem with. What am I doing wrong?  
  
  
  
SSHORT LVS $42.40 with stoploss of 42.62 (using signal entry API) at 15:47 ( I inadvertently left a limit of $40.41, is this the problem?)  
  
  
  
Here is the adjustment.  
  
  
  
[http://www.collective2.com/cgi-perl/signal.mpl?cmd=signal&systemid=53717811&pw=PASSword&action=BTC&quant=100&instrument=stock&symbol=LVS&duration=GTC&stoploss=42.65&xreplace=58518556](http://www.collective2.com/cgi-perl/signal.mpl?cmd=signal&systemid=53717811&pw=PASSword&action=BTC&quant=100&instrument=stock&symbol=LVS&duration=GTC&stoploss=42.65&xreplace=58518556)  
  
  
  
action should be BTC on a short position?  
  
  
  
thanks

Chad -  
  
  
  
the **&stoploss=** parameter can only be used for an "all-in-one" (entry order plus bracket stop and profit target) order.  
  
  
  
I think you want to change **&stoploss=** to  
  
**&stop=xxx**  
  
  
  
That ought to do the trick.

Thanks, I knew it was something simple.
