Have you first tried experimenting with market orders?
These may be easier to get started with than the Limit entry
orders you're trying to use.

Another problem I see: your entryOrder never gets set back
to null after the entry order is filled.

Otherwise, your use of SubmitOrder() looks fine to me.

On a possibly different note ...

Your OnExecution is not robust enough.

If DefaultQuantity > 1 expect problems with partial fills,
since I see your OnExecution doesn't handle that.

Partial fills for your protective stop and profit target will
also fail for similar reasons.

Why? OnExecution is called for every fill or partial fill of
every order: whether entry, stop, or target.

Consider this:
Your stop order gets partial filled which invokes OnExecution
where your code sets a new stop and target order (which
is obviously not what you will be wanting).

You will only see these major problems with DefaultQuantity > 1
but never with strategy analyzer (which doesn't do partial fills).

You can allow/deny partial fills in Sim101 via the Options dialog.

Study this reference tutorial here for some ideas on a better
and more robust OnExecution:

Hello Papercut110,

Thank you for your post.

bltdavid provides some good insight into what you are performing. I would also recommend implementing debugging techniques such as TraceOrders so that you can see what is happening with the orders. I would also recommend checking the Log tab of the Control Center for any messages on your orders.

For information on TraceOrders please visit the following link: http://ninjatrader.com/support/forum...ead.php?t=3627

Please let me know if you have any questions.
