AtmStrategyChangeStopTarget Not working

[bsamani]

I am trying to change a Stop order for but the AtmStrategyChangeStopTarget is not working. In the Long I keep getting:

AtmStrategyChangeStopTarget() method error: OrderName 'STOP1' does not exist

I am using this call:

AtmStrategyChangeStopTarget(0,Open[0] +1 * TickSize, "STOP1", atmOrderId);

Any idea's?

At the point i am trying to change the Stop, the order has been filled.


Thanks!

Hi bsamani,
Please post more code so we can take a look at it, did you use the AtmStrategyCreate() beforehand to start the ATM strategy to that your call refers?

http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/HelpGuideV6/ASMStrategyCreate.html

You can also open 'SampleATMStrategy' in the NinjaScript editor to see a reference how to use those calls in combination.

[bsamani]

Here is the entire section of code. I pretty much copied the code from the sample.





string OrderId = GetAtmStrategyUniqueId();
string atmOrderId = GetAtmStrategyUniqueId();
if ( !AtmStrategyCreate(Action.Sell,OrderType.Limit,Clo se[0]- 1* TickSize, Open[0] + 1 * TickSize, TimeInForce.Day,
OrderId,"BahramBreakout", atmOrderId) )
{
Print( "Order Not Accepted RED ===[" + OrderId + "], [" +atmOrderId + "]");
}
else
{

Print( "Order Accepted RED ===[" + OrderId + "], [" +atmOrderId + "]");
AtmStrategyChangeStopTarget(Close[0] +12 * TickSize,Open[0] +1 * TickSize, "Stop1", atmOrderId);

Print ( " Storing Order Values Short Orders Before ["+ hashShortOrderIds.Count.ToString() + "]");
hashShortOrderIds.Add(OrderId, atmOrderId);
allOrderIds.Add(atmOrderId);
Print ( " Values Short Orders After ["+ hashShortOrderIds.Count.ToString() + "]");
}

Hi, please try to use this changed snippet in the code...

AtmStrategyChangeStopTarget(Close[[SIZE=2][COLOR=#800080]0[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2]] +[/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#800080]12[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2] * TickSize,Open[[/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#800080]0[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2]] +[/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#800080]1[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2] * TickSize, [/SIZE][SIZE=2][COLOR=#800000]"STOP1"[/COLOR][/SIZE][SIZE=2], atmOrderId);[/SIZE]
[SIZE=2][/SIZE]

I changed it and still I get the "Stop1" not found msg.

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

Did you create an ATM strategy template in the SuperDOM or ChartTrader named 'BahramBreakout' for reference for the strategy?

[bsamani]

Yes. The order gets placed and using the ATM strategy with the correct Stop/Profit targets defined by the ATM strategy.

But when I try to change the Stop, i get that error.

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

Could be that you are stopped out before you get a chance to adjust it, because you place the stop too tight with Open[0] + a tick.

[bsamani]

No. The order is sill alive. I can see the order on the DOM.

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

Do you try placing the trade manually and then changing the stop and target from NinjaScript?

Please also enable TraceOrders in your strategy to debug further - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...aceOrders.html

[bsamani]

I placed the traceorder command and i still have the same issue.
Ninja keeps says Invalid name.

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

Hi, then you may be checking too early in your code, before the actual ATM was started...you will see the checks in the SampleATMStrategy like

if (atmStrategyId.Length > 0)
{
change stop / target 
}

Please keep the relative position also in your own code intact...Thanks!

[bsamani]

in the code on the bottom, you can see that the Change happens after the create.
Also, the Stratgey ID is created right before the CreateStrategy call.

are those steps wrong?

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

Hi, please check for this one, too - just like in the SampleATMStrategy

if (GetAtmStrategyMarketPosition(atmStrategyId) != MarketPosition.Flat)

It's a two step check with the previous post combined...

[bsamani]

Well, the Market Position says that the position is flat. So, Is there an event that gets triggered that I can access when an order gets filled or its status changes? other then OnBarUpdate?
