stop matches exitposition?

[tonynt]

Hello,

I want to aks if it can be that when I do
SetStopLoss ("SA", CalculationMode.Ticks, 70, false);
EnterShort(3000, "SA");
ExitShort(1000, "X1","SA");

that with the exit my positions of 3000 are reduced by 1000 to 2000 but the stop (visible in chart-trader) remains with 3000 (and is not reduced to 2000)?

Also with SetStopLoss (CalculationMode.Ticks, 70);
EnterShort(3000);
ExitShort(1000);

the position size is reduced by 1000 to 2000 but not the stops (remain 3000)

I know I can do with individual entry-names ("SA1"....) and ("SA2"...) and ("SA3"....) and corresponding entries with (1000, "SA1")..... to scale out positions and stops.

But isn´t it possible to do the entry with all positions (no individual entry-names) and to scale out NOT ONLY postions but also stops?

This is important because when running more strategies to avoid a lot lines with entries and stops appearing in the platform of broker.


Thanks
Tony

tonynt,

You can monitor stop losses : http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...ead.php?t=5790

And modify them as well : http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...ead.php?t=3222

Specifics for your particular strategy would need to be handled appropriately.

Hello,

thank you for your information. I know how to modify stops, with flags, with variables...

My question is more easy, so please let me do again:

* when I do eg an entry with EnterShort(3000); and ExitShort(1000);
* or eg EnterShort(3000, "SA"); and ExitShort(1000, "X1","SA");

with the exit my positions are reduced for 1000 but the stoplosses persists with 3000.
Correct?

Thanks
Tony

tonynt,

Thanks for your note.

Correct, this would need to be handled appropriately. Scaling out of positions can be handled using the following reference sample.

Thank you. This is how I do now like the scale out sampl, and it works fine. I just wanted to know if there´s another possibility that works somehow different to avoid individual entry names as there are so many orders appearing then.

A question to the sample monitoring stoplosses please: it seems like stoplosses here are added to a running position(?) Or can I work with this also for my stoplosses with
SetStopLoss ("SA", CalculationMode.Ticks, 70, false);
EnterShort(3000, "SA");
ExitShort(1000, "X1","SA");

Thanks

tonynt,

You could try the unmanaged approach, or use ATM strategies for this.

This would leave the stop losses unaltered. Stop losses are submitted as pending orders so you would need to possibly capture the IOrder object and change it.
