Global Stoploss and Profit Target

[knightravine]

I want a global profit target and stop loss.

I want a strategy that monitors all positions --- profits and losses—regardless or manual entry or strategy entry and will auto sell/flatten when these targets are hit. It will trigger Regardless of the order entry method, If I enter them manually or anything. Kind of a global target loss and target profit for the day. We can assume one instrument or across all interments. I don’t care. I need a place to start.



Allowable Loss (Global Stop Loss)
Allowable Profit (Global Daily Profit Target)

Any C# code to do this within Ninjatrader????????????

Thanks

You'd need to keep track of the P&L of all strategies within a .txt file (or any other kind of external file), and then have each strategy read from that.

Hello knightravine,

Thank you for your note.

In this case using the idea posted by Radical you can use the following reference sample to read and write to a text file: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...ead.php?t=3477

Otherwise this is outside the supported methods of NinjaScript.

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.

Thanks Radical. Elegant. 10 years as a C# programmer! and I did not think of making an external data source like txt or xml! I can even output a html based dashboard. This will be helpful on multiple levels including multi-time frame support to output resistance or pivots etc. and use across strategies/indicators.

Thanks PatrickH for the code sample.

I am so glad I posted my question.
