Enter Stop Orders Strategy

[rowdy]

I am attempting to create a custom strategy that will enter some buy stop orders at a specific date and time. That is all. After that, I want it to exit and allow me to drag and drop my stops just like using chart trader. The strategy is not entering any stop orders at all using Market Replay. Could I please get some help. Here is my relevant code.


protectedoverridevoid OnBarUpdate()
{
if (ToTime(Time[0]) >= 60000 && ToDay(Time[0]) > 20110419 && Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Flat)
{
EnterLongStop(DefaultQuantity, GetCurrentAsk() + 3 * TickSize, "");
EnterLongStop(DefaultQuantity, GetCurrentAsk() + 6 * TickSize, "");
EnterLongStop(DefaultQuantity, GetCurrentAsk() + 9 * TickSize, "");
EnterLongStop(DefaultQuantity, GetCurrentAsk() + 12 * TickSize, "");
EnterShortStop(DefaultQuantity, GetCurrentBid() - 3 * TickSize, "");
EnterShortStop(DefaultQuantity, GetCurrentBid() - 6 * TickSize, "");
EnterShortStop(DefaultQuantity, GetCurrentBid() - 9 * TickSize, "");
EnterShortStop(DefaultQuantity, GetCurrentBid() - 12 * TickSize, "");

}
}

Hi Rowdy,

From your code snippet you should expect that the condition is true once the bar's time stamp passes 6:00 AM on any day after 4-19-11.(Starting 4 - 20 - 11)

It may help to add a drawing object or print statement so you can verify the condition triggers true.

Add TraceOrders = true; to your Initialize() method to track messages related to order submission.

You'll also want to look at EntriesPerDirection and EntryHandling properties to allow all those orders at once.
