Flat Everything

[kiss987]

Hello

Is there a simple way by code using NT7 to flat everything, that is, on my current instrument (only) in my current account (only), to close all open positions, cancel all open orders and if possible disabling my current strategy?

Thanks

Hello,

Thank you for the post.

You would likely need to use undocumented methods in nt7 for this, in nt8 there are now documented ways similar to this. I had previously posted here:

You could loop through the account to identify orders that match your criteria and close them, you could also close positions in this way. I am unsure if this disables the strategy when it manages the order, but in nt7 you can call Disable() to terminate the strategy.

I look forward to being of further assistance.

Thank you for your reply

How do I know if a NinjaTrader.Cbi.Order direction is long or short? It does not have a MarketPosition property same as a normal order.

Hello kiss987,

you could use the orders Long or Short properties:

if(order.OrderState != OrderState.Cancelled && order.OrderState != OrderState.Filled)
{
	Print(order.OrderState.ToString());
	Print("Long: " + order.Long);
	Print("Short: " + order.Short);	
}

I look forward to being of further assistance.
