limit order simulated

[tonynt]

Hello,

I searched for "limit orders simulated" but couldnt find an answer.

I want to do the exit with limit orders simulated - same as one can do for stops.
Sorry, but I didnt find the syntax on the website.

Thanks
Tony

Hello,

Simulated Limit orders are not supported. You would only be able to simulate stop orders.

If you would like to use a simulated limit, you can use a StopLimit order where a limit order will be submitted at that price once the stop order has been reached.

Thanks,

so there is no possibility then for having the stoploss not simulated and thus on brokers server and a correspondend limit for exit as an OCO only on the computer and not on brokers server (to be safe in case of broken internet-connection)?

Thanks
Tony

No, this would not be possible.

Thanks for your reply.

In the meantime tried to check out your information "...you can use a StopLimit order..." but with

ExitLongStopLimit(int quantity, double limitPrice, double stopPrice, string signalName, string fromEntrySignal)

can´t do simulated. How do you mean this would work?

Thanks in advacne for clearifying.

Hi,

From the strategy, it would not be available directly - you can use these through manual orders on the SuperDOM or Chart Trader.

What you can do is program your strategy to not submit the limit order until a specific condition has been met.

Hi,

this is what I´m already doing now in my scripts. But because of computer ressources I wanted to use chart-trader with limits/stops I could do in charttrader (even its not supported - but this is not the question).

As you say ".. SuperDom or Charttrader" let me ask you if one can change the following ATM-order for working simulated (as stop or limit)

Order o = a.CreateOrder(Instrument,OrderAction.Buy,OrderType .Limit,TimeInForce.Day,qnt1, GetCurrentBid()-(stopdistance*TickSize),0,"","Entry");

??

Thanks

Yes, that would work for entries.

Hi,

I know this works for entries;-)

I wrote

thought it is clear as we discussed the exits.

So let me repeat more accurate: can the posted syntax/code be changed so that it works as stop or limit for exits simulated?

Thanks
Tony

Yes, that would work for entries.

No, they cannot. You will not be able to accomplish this in your strategy.
