Long & Short Order Problem

[upshon]

Hi

Not sure what I am doing wrong, I am trying to place 2 orders at the same time one long one short, but only the first order is getting placed. I am trying to capture a break out in either direction.

Any idea what I am doing wrong?

protected override void OnBarUpdate() {

if (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Flat) {
if (ValidEntry) {
SetStopLoss("Short", CalculationMode.Ticks, 20, false);
SetProfitTarget("Short", CalculationMode.Ticks, 50);
shortOrder = EnterShortStop(ShortEntry, "Short");

SetStopLoss("Long", CalculationMode.Ticks, 20, false);
SetProfitTarget("Long", CalculationMode.Ticks, 50);
longOrder = EnterLongStop(LongEntry, "Long");
}
}
}


Thanks

Mike

Mike, in the managed approach in NT you would run into the order handling rules here leading to ignored orders (can be easily spotted when working with TraceOrders - http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...raceorders.htm)

NT7 now offers a new unmanaged order submission mode, which deactives the order handling rules under the hood so any orders can be placed via the SubmitOrder, CancelOrder and ChangeOrder methods -
