IORDERS NOT Working

[ginx10k]

Okay I've Uploaded my Testing Strategy. Note before I made any of the Iorder and Execution changes, the strategy was Taking Trades with EnterLong() stops etc.....

Now I've attempted to take Trades using IOrder objects and EntryOrder1 & EntryOrder2 etc....

and the stratetgy WON'T Take One Single Trade.

Can someone Look at my Code and please see what's wrong. I've kept the code as Simple as possible and yet I get No results.

P.S: This Strategy is for Price Based bars (Renko or ranged) Only, Not Time Bars

Hello ginx10k,

Thank you for your post.

I will review your strategy and follow up with any details I find.

CalculateOnBarClose

Hey, I downloaded the Reference sample from http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...ead.php?t=7499

and it works fine the way it is. but I changed it to CalculateOnBarClose = false; because my strategy is set that way, and it completely stopped taking Orders. I even changed appropriate values to FirstTickOfbar and Close[1], and still nothing.

Just letting you know in case that might help. cause I did change my strat to CalcOnBarclose =true but still No results. Hope that helps figuring out what the problem is.

thanks. I'll keep waiting for response.

Update:

I uploaded a Modified version of the Strategy, Now it takes Entry Orders. However, on SELL orders it never reaches Profit target. in fact, sells don't get closed out until New BUY orders come in.

Example here: http://screencast.com/t/WKlcieIJUlak

Can you or anyone please check the code and tell me what's wrong with it. You can ignore the previous version, as it had many errors. this is a super simplified version. I just copied and pasted and edited the one from http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...ead.php?t=7499

P.S:
1. New code has errors as such: it will sometimes take an Entry, and close out the trade within seconds.
2. Sometimes it'll say Cancelled then Filled but nothing actually fills, and the Take profit and Stop order Still appear waiting to be filled.

I'm at a Total Lost, I don't know what to do anymore.

Hello ginx10k,

Thank you for your response.

Can you provide the strategy exported from File > Utilities > Export NinjaScript? I am missing needed references in your code, such as 'Stops'.
Make sure to export as source files and attach to your response.

DONE: Upload should work fine. with no extra files needed.

Hello ginx10k,

What instrument and bar type are you testing this on? Example: ES 06-15 1 Minute.

[ginx10k]

FOREX Only. EUR/USD RANGED chart 40 Tick ChART or 40 tick Renko. using NinjaTrader Data --> TenthOfAPip.

If using 40 tick Renko/Range set Take Profit to 20 Pipettes (2 pips).

Thanks ginx10k, I will test on my end.

Hello ginx10k,

Thank you for your patience.

I am not seeing the same behavior on my end. I am seeing that the StopLoss parameter has a great deal of effect on the placement of the ExitShortStop or ExitLongStop as well as the ProfitTarget parameter on the ExitLongLimit and ExitShortLimit.

Please enable TraceOrders in your strategy and monitor the Output window for more information on the orders and their executions. For information on TraceOrders please visit the following link: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...ead.php?t=3627

I don't know how you say it doesn't happen on your end. I did another Test, and used TraceTrade. I can't understand what's happening so I posted a pic here

I used Range chart, and waited for a Long Down Move. and it did that thing. maybe when u were testing it, u should wait for a Down move, as that's where the problem occurs.

For some reason strategy keeps thinking that it's IN a SHORT but it's NOT and won't take any other Shorts or BUYs until price moves Back UP a few bars.

Hello ginx10k,

Thank you for your response.

Can you provide a screenshot of the settings you are using for the strategy in the Strategies menu on the chart, the Edit Strategy menu on the Control Center, or the Strategy Analyzer Backtest menu?

[ginx10k]

Of Course I can. Mr. Patrick.

I just don't understand Why The strategy Keeps Thinking that It's in a Short trade, and keeps avoiding the Take Profit and ignoring the Stop Loss. SOmething has to be happening with that OnOrderUpdate or OnExecutionUpdate area that's causing these problems.
