about reverse position

[futuretrader8]

well, with other platform i used such as sterling or IB's TWS, reverse position button means you reverse all your existing position while in NT7 i just notice it only close all your position but enter reverse position with a quantity of selected by Order qty column rather than the quantity you just hold, this is extremely inconvenient for volatile market trading. i just wonder whether there is a solution for this.

Hello,

Thank you for your post.

Currently this option is not available with the Reverse button however I have forwarded this to our development team as a suggestion on how we can improve the NinjaTrader platform. Once this suggestion has been input into our tracking system I will forward you the assigned ID number for tracking.

thanks for the reply. i would like to write a script to use charttrader panel to access existing position and quantity. for existing position, i could access by using following script:
MarketPosition myPosition;

try
{
myPosition = NinjaTrader.Cbi.Globals.Accounts[myAcctIndex].Positions.FindByInstrument(Instrument).MarketPosi tion;
}
catch (}
and it works well, but how can i get my existing position quantity? can i access it by calling myPosition.Position.Quantity?

If you get that working, you could probably add a button on the toolbar for easier access to starting the strategy.

is there any NT7 developer manual existing in NT7 developer community? if it does exist, how to access it? current NT7 help file is far from sufficient to use those unsupported stuff which is crucial to develop powerful script.

That is something of a contradiction in terms.

Unsupported functions are not documented precisely because they are not supported, and by definition, those functions are not supported because they are not documented.

There is no other programming manual for unsupported NinjaScript. On the other hand, there are quite a number of threads here and on BMT that document what folks have figured out on their own.

Actually, on this board, there is a thread devoted to such matters, and we even tell folks who post questions there about supported stuff to go elsewhere for answers.

i found the way to close position and submit new order in Cbi, but can't find the way to attach ATM strategy in submission of order(not the way in strategy, but using Cbi). anyone knows, especially from NT's support team, how to achieve this? many thanks.
