trouble with spot losses

[daglas]

Dear friends.
I have set up. Stop loss and teke profit
SetStopLoss(400);
SetProfitTarget(1500);

But size of stop loss changing in high range, from 300 usd to 2000. How can I fix this?

I have attached list of my trades

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

daglas, what timeframe / chart are those trades placed on? Are those backtested results you run through?

[daglas]

it's 15-20 pips range bars. It's not back test, it's live trading on demo account.

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

Thanks, did you set those stop losses to be simulated in code, so NT would wait until price triggered the stop and then send a market order?

[daglas]

how can I do such settings? to simulate stop losses in code.

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

You would set the simulated parameter to 'true' in the SetStopLoss() call.

Hello,

Just to make sure we are on the same page to you mean by size the order QTY is different or the distance from the entry price to the stop loss/ profit target price is different?

I have set take profit in currency. QTY of trades are different, but take profit is differ too.
I have set up take profit at 1500 dollars, and I have take profits for trades from 30-500 usd.
Please check previously attached file with trades list.

[NinjaTrader_Matthew]

What size would you like the take profit to be? Can you please post a snippet of the code you are using for your profit?

[daglas]

protected override void Initialize()
{
CalculateOnBarClose = true;
SetStopLoss(400,true);
SetProfitTarget(1500);

}

When using SetProfitTarget, the qty will be based off the position size.

If you wanted to specify the qty, you would need to use a limit order with ExitLongLimit or ExitShortLimit:

Thanks. I shall try using fixed lot size (1 contract). And I shall check take profit size.

I have troubles with stop loses and take profits.
I have attached list of my trades. Some times take profits and stop loses did not work.
I have create a code for closing positions with market orders. But this code did not work at some time frame. I shall post this code next time.
