EMA CROSS buy or sell on Average problem

[bsspga]

Hi Everyone
i have two ema cross on a strategy. When they cross above or below the average i want to submit a limit order to be working on the faster moving average. but when the order goes in it just dissapears. I want it to be following the ema price up or down till filled. is this as simple as a setting or something that has to be wrote in a code. I used the wizard to build the basics.
any help would be great thanks

Hello bsspga,

Thank you for your post.

What are you using for your orders? Market, limit or stops?

What are you using to calculate your the cross of the moving average?

im using a a fast and slow ema average. I can get the strategy to work with market orders no problem when the averages cross above or below. i want it when the averages cross above work a limit order on the fast moving average instead of going to the market. it flashes the order then is gone i have calculate on bar close false so it continuously works i assume till filled but then im thinking it has nothing to do with the last bar has to do with the price of the ema till filled

Hello bsspga,

Thanks for your reply.

What is happening is at each new bar update NinjaTrader is checking the condition from your strategy. If your limit order was not filled on the previous bar it is getting canceled out on the new bar because the crossover condition is no longer true (since it occurred on the previous bar).
You could use great than and less than conditions however you would then also need to create exit conditions for your strategy.
