how to enter long/short limit order at the same time

[trya123]

Let's say I want to enter a long limit order at $30 and a short limit order at $50 at the same time:

shortOrder = EnterShortLimit(0, true, 100, 50, "short");
longOrder = EnterLongLimit(0, true, 100, 30, "long");

When I run the back test, the first order stays at "working" state, and the second order never shows up.

How to enter both long/short limit order at the same time?

Thanks.

trya123, welcome to our forums! With this setup you'll run into the 'Internal Order Handling Rules' - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...verview36.html (bottom section of the link)

If you enable TraceOrders = true in the Initialize() of your strategy and open the output window in the Control Center, this is much easier to debug / recognize -

NinjaTrader 7 will offer a new unmanaged order submission feature giving your more flexibility in this regard -

Enter by Limit order

When you specify in Ninja Trader Strategy
if (EMA18 crossavobe EMA90),
Enter Long by Limit order @ price 100.


Does this mean that when the above conitions have been meet the strategy will place a limit order @100 until its filled
or
will it cancel the order if the above conditions are not ture anymore?

bologc, per default limit orders expire at the end of the bar if not resubmitted, in your case they would expire cause the condition would not evaluate to 'true' again on the next bar.
