Halting a strategy

[spikebuck77]

I would like to exit my strategy as soon as any order is filled and then let the stops manage the rest of the trade without the strategy running.

Any ideas how to code a halt?

Thanks,

Welcome to our forums - here's a sample that would show how to programmatically halt a strategy to not process further OnBarUpdate() logic to trigger further entries - http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...ead.php?t=4804

I tried using the the SampleHaltBasicStrategy to see when it actually exits the program. I ran it all day and it continued to take new positions.

Any idea how I can exit the strategy completely without manual intervention?

Thanks again.

Unfortuantely you can't programmatically stop / disable the strategy instance or shutdown for example NT. The basic sample you ran would monitor strategy performance and exit ouf of the OnBarUpdate() logic if it either won 1000$ or lost 400$ - if this case was not hit in your testing, the strategy would continue to trade for sure.
