order handling

[tonynt]

Hello,

after working with NT for many years now I´m experiencing a strange behavior (I was not aware of this because different order handling untill now maybe).

I take off with a market order by condtion one of 3 contracts "ExitShort(1,"xaSa","aSa");"

When I move stoplosses then by another condition

I thought NT will move only stop for aSb and aSc because aSa is not there anymore.
if (stopstepa==1 && Closes[2][0] <= Position.AvgPrice - (8*TickSize))
{SetStopLoss("aSa", CalculationMode.Price, Position.AvgPrice, false);
SetStopLoss("aSb", CalculationMode.Price, Position.AvgPrice, false);
SetStopLoss("aSc", CalculationMode.Price, Position.AvgPrice, false);}

But there appear 3 stoporders in orderstab. Looks like NT brings in these 3 orders even when there are only 2 positons?


I can not change the code to move only SetStopLoss for aSb and aSc because all order handling is depending from conditions and the stopmove might be when all 3 positions are in the trade or, as described above, only 2 are there anymore.

I thought with "ExitShort(1,"xaSa","aSa");" NT cancels also the corresponding SetStopLoss.



Thank you
Tony

Hi Tony,

Thanks for your post.

I do not see the same behavior here with a quick mock up of the strategy. The SetStopLoss is cancelled when the ExitShort() occurs.

Can you provide a strategy that demonstrates the issue? If you would prefer please feel free to write into platformsupport[at]Ninjatrader[dot]com Atten:Paul and link to this thread.
