How to manage a certain trade

[edstaffin]

Hi,
Suppose I want to go long with 2 contracts at 2010.
I want, for example, to set a target on one of the contracts at 2012 and the other to 2014.

When the 2012 target is filled, I want to immediately move the stop of the second contract to 2012.

Is there a way to do this using managed trades or do I have to go to unmanaged?

Any examples would be great!
Thanks ... Ed

Hello Ed,

Thank you for your post.

Using separate entrySignalNames for each of the Entry() methods used for your two entries you can then use separate SetProfitTarget() methods, and then use separaete SetStopLoss() methods and adjust the second SetStopLoss() to breakeven when the first SetProfitTarget() is filled.

An example of adjusting the SetStopLoss() method in OnBarUpdate() can be found at the following link: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...ead.php?t=3222

Hi,
What event do I catch to know when a SetProfitTarget() gets filled?
Thanks ... Ed

Hi Ed, the Set()'s would not have a native IOrder return, but you could check into the contents of this sample to see an alternative technique used - http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...ead.php?t=5790
