NJ7 - StopLoss Order stuck in Initialized state

[joevieira]

Hi,

I have a strategy that have the following code on my Initialize() method.

SetStopLoss("L",CalculationMode.Ticks,stopLoss,tru e);
SetStopLoss("S",CalculationMode.Ticks,stopLoss,tru e);


SetProfitTarget("L",CalculationMode.Ticks, profitTarget);
SetProfitTarget("S",CalculationMode.Ticks, profitTarget);

Once the strategy is triggered, the order associated with the Profit target goes to "Working" state (as expected). However, the stop loss order remains in "Initialized" state.

I also had the reverse situation with a previous position where the Stop Loss order went to "Working" and the Profit Target" went to "Initialized"

What could be the problem? I appreciate your help?

Thanks,

Joe

Hello,

Thank you for the post.

I noted you are using the Simulated stop option so I would expect this in this case. If you use false instead of true this should move the order from Initialized to later states. The Simulated stop feature would do this specifically as it is intended to hide the order from the market. You can find the documentation here:

SS orders are set to Initialized state

I look forward to being of further assistance.
