Enter / Exit at market price

[Simple]

What would be the best command in an strategy to tell the program to either enter or exit the trading at the market price at the happening of an event . Eg SMA cross over .

I will be pleased , if some one help me in this regard.


Thank you in advance.

Best Regards

Hello Simple,

The simplest way of doing this would be to use the Managed Approach in NinjaScript.
Here is a link to the documentation on this, It list all of the available methods you can use.

For an entry or exit order at market you could simply do the following:

EnterLong();

or

EnterShort();

There are also other overloads for these that will allow you to specify quantities and signal names.

If you have the time I would highly recommend watching our presentation on the usage of the Strategy Wizard as it explains more in detail of how the orders are processed in NinjaScript. While you may be writing your own code and not using the wizard, this video still applies the basics you use in NinjaScript.

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