Changing working orders from indicator

[martyn73]

I'm creating an indicator that executes a limit order using the following method:

NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.AtmStrategy.StartAtmStrate gy();

Since the action of the order if activated by a user I'm creating this as an indicator and not a strategy. Once the working order has been submitted, but not filled, how can I adjust the limit price of that order? Attempting to use ChangeOrder() from the indicator does not appear to work.

Hello martyn73,

Are you referring to the <account>.Change() method?

If the .Change() method is not changing the order, assign the AtmStrategy object returned from StartAtmStrategy() to a variable and then call <atmStrategyObject>.AtmStrategyCancelEntryOrder( ).

Thanks for the reference, I got it working using <account>.Change(). I was originally looking at ChangeOrder(), https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...us/?change.htm
How is that method different?

Hello martyn73,

Are you referring to the ChangeOrder() method for NinjaScript Strategies only?

This will only change an order owned by a NinjaScript Strategy.

You can change an order from a indicator with


myAccount.Change ( new [] {stopOrder})

Also, you can send orders from indicator, with the mothod

CreateOrder(Instrument instrument, OrderAction act ion, OrderType orderType, OrderEntry orderEntry, T imeInForce timeInForce, int quantity, double limit Price, double stopPrice, string oco, string name, DateTime gtd, CustomOrder customOrder)
