SampleScaleOut Strategy

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

Hi traderT, you will need to debug when the order at this level is placed, the order statement EnterLongLimit just allows you to place an order at a specified limit / level price. So in your case you need to define a condition that returns true when the level is approached as retracement, then you can go ahead and place your limit order.

Like this?

So something like this? ...

if ((Low[1] > entryAValue)
&& (Low[0] <= entryAValue)
&& (longCount == 0))
{
EnterLongLimit(entryAValue, "Buy1");
SetProfitTarget("Buy1", CalculationMode.Price, targetAValue);
}

...but would this not execute the order on the next bar?

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

Correct this will place the order on the next bar, if you need intrabar processing you can try setting CalculateOnBarClose to false.

CalculateOnBarClose

I was told to remove CalculateOnBarClose alltogether as there was a bug with it. See http://www.ninjatrader-support2.com/...ad.php?t=13276.

[NinjaTrader_JoshP]

If you have removed it and need intrabar processing, set CalculateOnBarClose = false from the parent script. It is nested CalculateOnBarClose that produce errors.

[traderT]

Nearly there

So should I set CalculateOnBarClose=False in the strategy or in the indicator that is called from the strategy?

[NinjaTrader_JoshP]

The parent script. The strategy calls the indicator therefore put it in the strategy.
