Porting Easy Language to Ninjascript

[tbmuc]

I'm trying to translate a Easy Language strategy to Ninjascript and have a lot of trouble with the order handling. E.g., it seems to be possible in Easy Language to place multiple stop and limit exit orders in parallel and to set stop points above closing level etc.

Are there any hints how to translate the easy language oders to ninjascript or is there an optinal functional layer available which does it?

Hello tbmuc,

Thanks for the post. In order to see what your strategy is doing under the hood, we recommend you enable TraceOrders = true; in the strategies Initialize() method, and would then see all messages related to strategy orders using Tools > Output Winfow.

In NT there is a built in managed layer, that controls things like setting entries per direction, limiting competing orders, and handles position management (like does not submit exit orders if there is no position). You can read more about this here:

There isn't an "Easy Language mode" for NinjaTrader strategies but if you wanted to submit orders independent of this managed layer, there is unmanaged approach, detailed here:
