Can someone help me get my stop-order to work?

I can't seem to get the stop order to trigger and can't figure out why.

Hi hassan,

I took a look and it seems that the stop order your placed is getting filled on 11-02-15. Was this what you were asking about?

That's when my buy order is happening am trying to get it to sell the stock after it goes down a bit after a buy order maybe am not understanding the doc syntax. Should I have put the stop order code in the sell code section of the If statement?

Ah, yes, you will want to add it to the sell order!
