Cancel stop when using alerts

[njs1987]

I have been testing out entering a trade and placing a stop loss then configuring an alert connected to an EMA to sell the order once price crosses below the EMA. I have no problem getting the alert to place the order once the EMA line is crossed but the issue is that the stop loss order remains active. How can I configure the alert so that all my positions are closed once the alert is activated?

Hello njs1987,

Thanks for writing in to our Support team.

There isn't a way to cancel orders or close your position using alerts, you are only able to submit orders.

This would need to be accomplished via custom programming.

If you would like, I can submit this as a feature request for the development team to consider.

Please let me know if I may be of any further assistance.

Thanks for the quick response NinjaTrader_AlanS.

I would appreciate it if you would submit a request for this feature as it would make using alerts much more useful.
