Close position closes also the strategy

[mantak007]

Hi, in my code I need to flatten a position for a single instrument. I'm using Account.Positions.FindByInstrument(Instrument).Clo se() which works OK regarding closing the position, but it also closes (disables) the strategy. Is there a call that closes a position but keeps the strategy runnig? Or any parameter of the strategy to set? Any help, even undocumented or unsupported :-), appreciated. Thank you.

Hello mantak007,

Thank you for your post.

You can use the barsInProgess index to submit Exit() methods to the instrument in your strategy. For information on using multiple instruments in your strategy please visit the following link: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...nstruments.htm

Hi Patrick, thank you for the info, unfortunately I'm using unmanaged approach in my strategy. I just need to close a position even if it has been opened by another strategy, by click in DOM, anywhere. Will this work too?

Hello mantak007,

Thank you for your response.

The barsInProgressIndex is present in the SubmitOrder() method as well: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...ubmitorder.htm

You cannot use the strategy to close positions that were opened from other strategies or order entry windows. You can however sync the account position on start up of the strategy, for information on syncing your account position and strategy position please visit the following link: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h..._positions.htm

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.
