SL+TP using Unmanaged Approach

[kiss987]

Hello

1. Can you please give an example of the unmanaged approach for entering a market long position with a SL and TP.

In the managed approach it would look something like that:

private void EnterMarketLong(double SL, double TP)
{
SetStopLoss(CalculationMode.Price, SL);
SetProfitTarget(CalculationMode.Price, TP);
EnterLong("MyLongPosition");
}

2. Is there a way to automatically cancel the SL and TP orders when I disable my strategy (but keeping my long position running).

Thanks

Hello kiss987,

Thanks for opening the thread.

Here is a copy of our Unmanaged Template strategy that you can use as an example for writing a strategy that uses bracketed orders for entry as well as profit targets and stop losses for long and short positions.

If you have any questions on the sample code, please don't hesitate to ask.

Is there a way to automatically cancel the SL and TP orders when I disable my strategy but keeping my long position running, the same way it's working in the managed approach?

Thanks

Hello kiss987,

Thanks for your question.

The Order handling rules in the Strategies\NinjaScript tabs of the Options menu will define the behavior for cancelling exit orders when you disable the strategy.

I added some null checks to aid in resuming a position so an IOrder can be resumed if it already exists, the modified script is attached.

Strategies tab - https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...tegies_tab.htm

I look forward to being of further assistance.
