Is there a reason why my target order would not be placed

[suprsnipes]

Hi,

This is my code where my entry is filled in OnBarUpdate and the target order is in OnExecution as follows;

protected override void OnExecution(IExecution execution)
        {
            /* We advise monitoring OnExecution() to trigger submission of stop/target orders instead of OnOrderUpdate() since OnExecution() is called after OnOrderUpdate()
            which ensures your strategy has received the execution which is used for internal signal tracking.
            
            This first if-statement is in place to deal only with the short limit entry. */
            if (entryOrder != null && entryOrder.Token == execution.Order.Token)
            {
                // This second if-statement is meant to only let fills and cancellations filter through.
                if (execution.Order.OrderState == OrderState.Filled || execution.Order.OrderState == OrderState.PartFilled || (execution.Order.OrderState == OrderState.Cancelled && execution.Order.Filled > 0))
                {    
                    // Simple target
                    targetOrder = ExitLongLimit(0, true, 1, execution.Price + 1 * TickSize, "target", "long entry");
                    
                    double myExecutionPrice = execution.Price;
                    //Print(myExecutionPrice.ToString());
                    
                    // Resets the entryOrder object to null after the order has been filled
                    if (execution.Order.OrderState != OrderState.PartFilled)
                    {
                        entryOrder     = null;
                    }
                }
            }
            
            // Reset our stop order and target orders' IOrder objects after our position is closed.
            if ((stopOrder != null && stopOrder == execution.Order) || (targetOrder != null && targetOrder == execution.Order))
            {
                if (execution.Order.OrderState == OrderState.Filled || execution.Order.OrderState == OrderState.PartFilled)
                {
                    stopOrder = null;
                    targetOrder = null;
                }
            }
        }

suprsnipes, you're working on NT7 here correct? Then please also use the NT7 targetted sample framework and recheck - http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...ead.php?t=7499

You also want to make sure the signal names are correct - how is your entry order exactly named?

This fixed it but I'm not entirely sure how?

targetOrder = ExitLongLimit(0, true, execution.Order.Filled, execution.Order.AvgFillPrice + 1 * TickSize, "target", "long entry");
