How to use OCO technique in Strategy?

[bernypaul]

I am a novice in NinjaTrader software. I was trying to write custom strategies. Please tell me how I can use OCO (once cancels other) orders within strategy.

Hi Berny Paul, thank you for the inquiry.

To use OCO orders within a strategy, it is necessary to pass the same "fromEntrySignal" parameter to the orders. If, for example, you were linking two exits together you could do this:

// ExitLongLimit code:
// ExitLongLimit(double limitPrice, string signalName, string fromEntrySignal)
ExitLongLimit(1000, "long limit exit", "from long entry")
ExitLongStop(990, "long stop exit", "from long entry")
