close - flatten

[tonynt]

Hello,

when running NT-script-strategies it occurs that a strategy can be closed with chart-trader (of course in another chart-window as the strategy) and also it occurs that another strategy can not be closed with chart-trader (I had to solve by adding a flatten-button as flatten-conditon within the strategy).

This is interesting and I couldn´t find out untill now why.

Can you please inform what is the reason or how to determine so that a strategy can be closed with chart-trader?

Thanks
Tony

you can try Position.Close()

Hello,

thank you for your reply. Where do you mean this? In the script? (There I have now ExitShort(); and ExitLong(); linked with a customized flatten-button in the strategy.)

It´s OK by doing with the flatten-button I made after recognizing the issue (maybe its not an issue but an error on my end - just curious when a strat can be closed with "close" in chart-trader and when not)

Best regards
Tony

you can try Position.Close()

TonyNT,

Could you clarify what you mean? Are you witnessing Chart trader being able to close orders sometimes and sometimes not?

Hello,

yes I think this happened. Is this possible that script-strategies can not be closed by chart-trader maybe? (as one can not modify the stops created from a script-strategy).

I clicked several times on close button in Chart-trader but the trades could not be closed.

Thanks
Tony

TonyNT,

Thanks for your note.

Due to internal order handling rules, if you place a sell on the same instrument a buy is in place, it will close out your position. You could try to use the unmanaged approach which doesn't have the built-in safety features of the managed approach but lets you have more control over orders.
