Modifying Stop In Custom Build Automated Trade Study

Is it possible with study code, not spreadsheet, to modify a stop in an attached order to move stop from one subgraph to another subgraph based on cross over method? For example, stop is placed on a chosen subgraph study line by design, when price crosses over a subgraph, stop gets moved (modified) to a different subgraph study line. I know there is the Trade Management by Study study, but I want to incorporate this type of stop move into the automation and the Trade Management Study is not in the 8 .cpp files to reference stop modification.

Yes this is possible. You can use the Trade Management by Study as an example:
How to Build an Advanced Custom Study from Source Code: Searching for Source Code for Sierra Chart Built-In Studies

The source code of that study is provided. The file is:
AutomatedTradeManagementBySubgraph.cpp

Use this function to modify the order:
Automated Trading From an Advanced Custom Study: sc.ModifyOrder()

I cannot find this file in any of the "Studies#" cpp files with a search. AutomatedTradeManagementBySubgraph.cpp

Go to the folder Sierra Chart is installed in and then go to this subfolder: /ACS_Source

In that folder you will see this file:
AutomatedTradeManagementBySubgraph.cpp
