Exit manual entered trade - NinjaTrader 8

[rdprioleau]

Hello, I have a question regarding Ninjatrader 8, if I have a manual entered trade and I must use the unmanaged approach to submit orders how do I exit just my manual entered trade. I have just 1 manual entered long position. Is there any general signal name for manual trades.

With the code below I get multiple sell orders any help would be appreciated.

Here is the code I am working with:

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{

if (PositionAccount.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Long
&& Close[0] < Position.AveragePrice + -5 * TickSize)
{

SubmitOrderUnmanaged(0, OrderAction.Sell, OrderType.Market, 1, 0, 0, "", "exitLong");

}


}



Thanks,

Hello rdprioleau,

Thank you for your post.

A simpler approach would be to use an Order object for the order submitted through the strategy and track whether it is null or not. For example:

     if (entryOrder == null)
          entryOrder = SubmitOrder(0, OrderAction.Buy, OrderType.Market, 1, 0, 0, "", "Enter Long");
