Stop entered without position?

[GKonheiser]

My strategy is entering a stop without having a position. However when I step thou the code with MS VS it shows a long position before the stop but nothing is shown on the chart, see attached. Also there is nothing in the trace order info in the output window:-

07/03/2012 13:48:33 Entered internal PlaceOrder() method at 07/03/2012 13:48:33: BarsInProgress=3 Action=Buy OrderType=Limit Quantity=1 LimitPrice=140.30 StopPrice=0 SignalName='pEntry' FromEntrySignal=''
07/03/2012 14:11:00 Entered internal PlaceOrder() method at 07/03/2012 14:11:00: BarsInProgress=0 Action=Sell OrderType=Stop Quantity=1 LimitPrice=0 StopPrice=140.24 SignalName='Stop of Long' FromEntrySignal='pEntry'

GKOnheiser,

Thank you for your note.

Is the FGBL the primary data series in your script or an added one?

These orders you have posted are sending orders to a BarsInProgress 3, save for this one -

07/03/2012 14:11:00 Entered internal PlaceOrder() method at 07/03/2012 14:11:00: BarsInProgress=0 Action=Sell OrderType=Stop Quantity=1 LimitPrice=0

Hi,

There is only one data series and 3 time frames, primary is 1 min (BiP 0), 1 Day (BIP 1) and 1 Tick (BIP 3).


Orders are submitted to BIP 0 and BIP 3.

The strange thing for me is the fill that I see in MS VS at 14.12 but not in trace or on the chart??

GKOnheiser,

Can you send me the strategy and the exact settings that you are running this one?

Send the information to - platformsupport [at] ninjatrader [dot] com
Put ATTN Cal in the subject and reference this thread in the body.

Hi Cal, not sure why that issue was happening but I've now altered my code a little and I can see the fill now in NT.

Thanks for your help.
