Separate Profit & Loss settings for longs and short?

[brooksrimes]

You can put these statements into the Initialize method:

SetProfitTarget(CalculationMode.Ticks, ProfitTargetTicks);
SetStopLoss(CalculationMode.Ticks, StopLossTicks);

this would apply to longs and shorts.

What would I need to do to have separate settings for longs and short?

I tried the following and got errors:

if (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Long) {
SetProfitTarget(CalculationMode.Ticks, ProfitTargetTicksLong);
SetStopLoss(CalculationMode.Ticks, StopLossTicksLong);
}

if (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Short) {
SetProfitTarget(CalculationMode.Ticks, ProfitTargetTicksShort);
SetStopLoss(CalculationMode.Ticks, StopLossTicksShort);
}

Thx.

Hi Brooks, the easiest way would be naming your long and short entries differently and then tagging a different stoploss and target to each, as example you can check into the Verwoort strategy we have in the sharing adding scaleouts as well at different levels - http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...N&pp=15&page=2

I get it. Naming the entries and allowing those names to be used with Set... statements is powerful. Thanks Bertrand.

(You folks give wonderful support. Who else answers questions on weekends - much less holiday weekends?)
