Scale out 2 contracts

[wyatt376]

Hi to all,
i've a nice problem to scale out 2 contract,

i do the enterlong 2 times, one to contract (not setting the quantity at 2) because i want to give at every entry a different name...

EnterLong(1,"Long1");
EnterLong(1,"Long2");

set a common stoploss and different profit target,

SetStopLoss("Long1",CalculationMode.Ticks, 8, false);
SetStopLoss("Long2",CalculationMode.Ticks, 8, false);
SetProfitTarget(Long1",CalculationMode.Ticks, 8);
SetProfitTarget("Long2",CalculationMode.Ticks, 16);

when first contract (Long1) achieves the target i want to set stoploss of other contract (Long2) to breakeven (+2 point to Position.AvgPrice) ..
In this case, which is the mode to do this? Which is the mode to detect profit target of first contract is hitted? Or is there a way to know the number of contract i actually have in market (in this mode, when i have only 1 contract, i change stoploss)?

Another question: when i have 2 contracts in position, the object Position. ... which is the contract to refer this object? Both? Only the first? only the second?

Thanks to all !!

wyatt,

The Position will reflect overall state there, so if you have 2 long orders your position is still Long.

Here is a reference sample on modifying stop losses and profit targets : http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...ead.php?t=3222

I would suggest using OnOrderUpdate() or OnExecution() to modify your stops since you said you wanted one position to close then to set breakeven.

Please let me know if I may assist further.

Ok, i find this way, isn't there a method for detect the number of contracts when i'm in market position?

another question:

you say: "The Position will reflect overall state there, so if you have 2 long orders your position is still Long"

my ask: if i've 2 contract in position, Position.AvgPrice is the first contract entry price or second contract entry price?

thanks!
