Multiple exit orders for same position?

[8DTK8]

What's the best way to handle multiple exit orders for the same position in Ninjascript? I currently go long in OnBarUpdate, and then place a stop in OnExecution. I have tried entering a ExitShortLimit right after the ExitShortStop, but it doesn't seem to work.

Also, will it create a conflict if on is 'live until cancelled" and the other one is not? I was trying to have the ExitShortLimit alive until it either got executed or the original ExitShortStop got executed. My ExitShortStop is false for "live until cancelled" because I want it to switch to the trailing stop that is in the OnBarUpdate section.

It was all running quite smoothly until I tried to put in those target limit orders.

Any light that could be shed on the matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hi 8DTK8,

Thanks for your post.

First of all consider that for scaling out of positions, you will first need to scale in using unique signal names that you later use for referencing those in your exit orders. Please review this link here - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...verview36.html

I would recommend you creating flags for the 'arming' and 'disarming' of your orders, this way you can check which exit order gets activated in what part of your code. You may also want to review this reference sample here - http://www.ninjatrader-support2.com/...ead.php?t=7499

Also it is very helpful to enable TraceOrders in the Initialize() to see modifications to your orders. Please review this link here - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...aceOrders.html

Have a great day!
