IOrder Problem

[kiss987]

I'm running a simple strategy on market replay and i have a problem with the IOrder object.

when i use the folowing my order IS filled:

private IOrder entryOrder = null;
...
protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
EnterLong(DefaultQuantity, "");

when i use the folowing my order IS NOT filled:

private IOrder entryOrder = null;
...
protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
entryOrder = EnterLong(DefaultQuantity, "");


Please help

Change it to

it (entryOrder == null) entryOrder = EnterLong(DefaultQuantity, "");

[sledge]

Change it to

it (entryOrder == null) entryOrder = EnterLong(DefaultQuantity, "");

I wasn't about to test that tonight....

But I definitely felt concerned without the help example being followed.

But I could see his concern... It should at least fill once?...

I managed to solve the problem. I changed my settings to "Immediately submit live working historical orders".

Is there a way to close all open positions and clear all open orders at the beginning of the strategy?

Hello kiss987,
You are having a position in the historical bars and thus NinjaTrader is waiting for the strategy to go flat.

Yellow highlighted "Strategy" cell indicates the strategy is waiting until it reaches a flat position to be in sync with the account position before fully starting.

If you do not want to use the Immediately submit live working historical orders, then you can also write the below code which will calculate the strategy on historical bars.

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
  if (Historical) return;
   //rest of the codes

}

Please let me know if I can assist you any further.
