Trailing Stop - New to NinjaScript

[arroganzmaschine]

Hello commuity,

I'm normally a mql5 developer, but I'm interested in developing NinjaScript and want to get my first script working.

I don't know how commands are used in NinjaScript. Can you give me some examples like OrderModify() in MQL5 for setting StopLoss? Or how can I step through every open order of the current chart and set the StopLoss to 2 Points?

My strategy sets an initial stoploss to 2 points and trails after the order is in +1 point profit.

Thank you very much and best regards.
Max.

Welcome to our forums here Max - for a basic go with our Set() methods for stop / order placement and further custom trailing I would recommend this reference sample - http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...ead.php?t=3222

The strategy instance itself would only have access to it's own placed orders though.

If you look for deeper event based processing such as with fill states or orderstatus updates, the IOrder archtitecture would be ideal - http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...nt7/iorder.htm

Here's how this more advanced concept would be used to submit protective exits upon seeing the exact fill event happen - http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...ead.php?t=7499

Thank you for your fast reply.

One question: If I place an order manually, can the strategy set a stoploss for every manual placed order? That's what my strategy does in MQL5.

Your strategy would not be aware of that order, there's no cross communication over from manual trading. That is currently an item though on our list of feedback collected for potential enhancement going forward.

What customers have been looking into is, setting a historical entry for a script that would be attempting to mimic then your manual entry > you have a script then running that would be managing a strategy position and thus you could issue a stop for it and adjust.

Thank you Bertrand. So I have to wait till the cross-communication is possible. That is the only way my strategy with setting a stoploss for every manually opened order will work.

Thank you very much!
