OnExecution

[siroki]

Hi,

I would like to know all the possible values for execution.Name inside the OnExecution eventhandler.

I know there is:

- stop loss
- profit target

But for example when I close some order manually, what is the value then?

siroki, the strategy OnExecution() would not be triggered for a manual order - it would be deailing with execution tied to this strategy instance only. What scenario are you trying to pickup?

[siroki]

Thanks for your reply.

I'm running a strategy but sometimes I want to intervene and manually shift TP or SL or even close the order. I want to set some variables in that case.

Maybe use the OnPositionUpdate?

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

But then you would modify a strategy generated order? The change will be applied (even-though we don't recommend that approach and intervening with NS strategy orders), though you would not get feedback that it was a manual interaction.

[siroki]

Yes at some point I want to intervene with a NT generated order strategy. Example: when central bank news is unexpectedly released and the prices moves in the opposite direction.

Maybe in thise case I would have to look into the unmanaged approach?

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

Understand, yes either that or call ATM strategy template for real-time execution then. This way you could directly work the script started ATM strategy on your order entry interfaces.

[siroki]

Oh, but I'm not closing the position directly in my broker. I'm already using the ATM to intervene! So back to my first question Can I use OnExecution with ATM and if so what is the execution.Name for CLOSE in ATM?

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

Ok then you're good on the manually modifying the orders, but the ATM's would not have the more advanced method feedback either.

[siroki]

Ok well. Then I guess I just have to intervene and turn off the strategy for that day. Thanks for your help.
