Order Pending Order Cancelled

[dvercher]

Hi Brett, I tried two different options but none of them worked. Still "order pending" "order cancelled".

1) private bool entrarlargo = false
private bool entrarcorto = false

and then my conditions and this:

if (Close [0] > entrada) Entrarlargo= true;
if (Entrarlargo == true)EnterLongLimit(entrada);
else if (Close [0] < entrada)Entrarcorto = true;
if (Entrarcorto == true)EnterShortLimit(entrada);

So in this option I just deleted
if (Position.MarketPosition==MarketPosition.Flat) Entrarlargo= false;
if (Position.MarketPosition==MarketPosition.Flat) Entrarcorto= false;

I thought this way I was calling EnterLongLimit/EnterShort every OnBarUpdate to keep it active.

2) private bool entrarlargo = false
private bool entrarcorto = false

and then my conditions and this:

if (Close [0] > entrada) Entrarlargo= true;
if (Entrarlargo == true)EnterLongLimit(entrada);
else if (Close [0] < entrada)Entrarcorto = true;
if (Entrarcorto == true)EnterShortLimit(entrada);
if (Position.MarketPosition==MarketPosition.Long) EntrarCorto= false;
if (Position.MarketPosition==MarketPosition.Short) EntrarLargo= false;

I again thought this way I was calling EnterLongLimit/EnterShort every OnBarUpdate to keep it active.

But none of the options are good.

Am I in the right direction?

Thank you

Hello,

Please try this:

if (Close [0] > entrada) Entrarlargo= true;
if (Entrarlargo == true)EnterLongLimit(entrada);


Just to make sure it opens your positions as you expect, you should have it enter long not very many times and stay long for a long time is this correct?

I look forward to assisting you further.

Hi Brett,

You said: Please try this:

if (Close [0] > entrada) Entrarlargo= true;
if (Entrarlargo == true)EnterLongLimit(entrada);

That's exactly what I already have. Have you seen the two options I tried in my previous post? Both of them have that.

About the other question, my strategy open a lot of long and short positions and for a very little time, four or five ticks.

Sincerely

Hello,

I understand that, I wanted you to just use this. Delete the rest out please and use only what I quoted that you have.

You issue is still your dont take the trade logic. Your simply not calling EnterLongLimit on every on bar update.

Your other issue you have in your code is you are calling EnterShortLimit right after EnterLongLImit. Which then tried to reverse your position.

else if (Close [0] < entrada)Entrarcorto = true;
if (Entrarcorto == true)EnterShortLimit(entrada);

This bar here will flip flop your position and is not good.

Basically I want to get you just doing a long limit order once without cancellations to then be able to build from there.

Ok, I was just confused.

I used only:

if (Close [0] > entrada) EntrarLargo= true;
if (EntrarLargo == true)EnterLongLimit(entrada);

Same problem, "order pending" "order cancelled"

Hello,

Please send your full strategy code to me at support at ninjatrader dot com ATTN: Brett so I can run this on my side. Be sure to reference this forum post as the order should not cancel it its only this in the strategy.

I look forward to assisting you further.

I have just emailed the full strategy to you.
I wrote Brett in the "topic" of the email.

Not sure what you mean by:
"Be sure to reference this forum post as the order should not cancel it its only this in the strategy."

The name of the attached file is "order pending order cancelled" so you can see the reference of this forum, I guess you meant that.

Thank you

I forgot to tell you that the original value of the variables Tp (Target Profit) and Sl (Stop loss) instead of 1, change them to bigger values like 6 or 7.

Thanks

Sincerely
