[R-SIG-Finance] Need help getting stop-loss and take-profit orders to work with indicators

[Ilya Kipnis]

Alright, here's a code that contains the absolute bare minimum. It's a
simple SMA5/SMA10 crossover strategy, with an entry a stoplimit on
seeing the signal, and an exit of the price immediately crossing below
the SMA10, mid-bar. I'm trying to set a stop loss on the second SMA. I
removed all of my additional functions. It's probably user error on my
part, but I'm simply asking how I achieve what I'm trying to do.

Thanks.
