Strategy exit question

[ARobotPolisher]

Please pardon my newbyness for such a basic question. I'm very new to coding and I have no plans to immerse myself into it since I am newly retired. So, with the help of Youtube University, I have created a few automatic trading strategies in strategy builder that seem to back test pretty well. However, sometimes I notice there is a better time to exit my trades than the program is set to exit so click on the good ol' "Close" button which of course closes out my position but my programmed exit still remains in play. The only way I can find to delete the remaining exit is to disable the strategy and then delete the programs exit, then re-enable the strategy again. Is there an easier way to exit and be done with the strategy when I feel it's ran it's course?

Hello ARobotPolisher,

Welcome to the NinjaTrader forums!

Below is a link to a support article with helpful resources on getting started with NinjaScript and C# development.

Manually clicking the Close button will disable any NinjaScript Strategy with an open position on the same instrument to prevent the strategy position from becoming out of sync with the account position.
Any manually submitted orders are not seen by the strategy. If the strategy and account are both long 1, and the account has a manual order to sell 1, the account becomes flat while the strategy still has a long position. The strategy may place an order to exit the long position which would make the strategy flat and the account short 1 (and unprotected).

I would recommend instead adding a button to the chart from the strategy so that when you click the button the strategy can place the exit order which would affect the strategy position and account position keeping them in sync and would not disable the strategy. This would require unlocking the script and coding by hand.

Below is a link to an example.

Thanks. Those were the correct conditions on the image I first sent over. The conditions were set to "Any" by default and I just revised that to "All". I feel like an idiot. The buy and sell triggers are working exactly like I want them to now. The results are absolutely miserable but I can see at least it works as programmed.
