Automated limit orders

[crimsonite]

Hello,

I'm trying to get ninjascript to use limit orders in automation... I copied the code from the help menu, but keep getting error messages (CS1501). Here is the code I replaced

EnterLong(DefaultQuantity, "LMA"))

; with:

            {
                EnterLongLimit(GetCurrentBid(DefaultQuantity, "Long CMA331"));
            }

I then tried to just use

EnterLongLimit(GerCurrentBid());

and got an additional CS1502 and CS1503 error.

I think I'm just doing it wrong. How can I get my Ninjascript strategy to use limit orders instead of market orders during automated trading?

I'm hoping to do this strategy on sim today or tuesday... any help is much appreciated... thanks

GetCurrentBid(DefaultQuantity, "Long CMA331") doesn't accept 2 parameters.

EnterLongLimit(GetCurrentBid()); -> looks like it will work

Try: EnterLongLimit( GetCurrentBid(),"Long CMA331");

???



GetCurrentBid()




Definition
Returns the current bid price.

Method Return Value
A double value representing the current bid price. Note: When accessed during a historical backtest, the close price of the evaluated bar is substituted.

Syntax
GetCurrentBid()
GetCurrentBid(int barSeriesIndex)

-----------------------------------------

Examples

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
if (CurrentBar < 20)
return;

// Only enter if at least 10 bars has passed since our last entry
if (BarsSinceEntry() > 10 && CrossAbove(SMA(10), SMA(20), 1))
EnterLongLimit(GetCurrentBid(), "SMA Cross Entry");
}

Syntax
EnterLongLimit(double limitPrice)
EnterLongLimit(double limitPrice, string signalName)
