settrailstop - script

[tonynt]

Hello,

as I can not connect to zenfire after the upgrade to NTx18 I´m working round with my scripts to see what I can improve. I have a simple idea now but this doesn´t work: I want to add a SetTrailStop if there is an overfill. So I added to my "longstrategy" (where there should only be long trades referring to the conditions) in case of shorts (I added in OnBarUpdate as I understand from the helpguide that SetTrailStop will not work in OnExecution):

else if (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Short)
SetTrailStop(CalculationMode.Ticks, 12);

When I do simulate an overfill with simulated datafeed there is no trailstop for my overfill.

and there is also no trailstop with
SetTrailStop("", CalculationMode.Ticks, 12, false);


Thank you!

Best regards
Tony

Hello Tony,

Since you are using the Managed Approach you would not be able to use the "SetTrailStop" method when you get an "over fill" since NinjaTrader will automatically try to close out of your position and disable your strategy.

If you wanted NinjaTrader to ignore an over fill you will have to use the Unmanaged Apporoach to be able to set the "IgnoreOverFill" variable.
