Move Chart trader Profit Targets

[thepcmd]

Is there a way that I can program a button to move my profit 'targets' to say Breakeven +1? I would like to do this if I feel the trade is not going to way I like and I just want to get out it it trades back to entry. I have the following that allows me to move the 'Stop1' to BE but I am looking to move the 'Target(s)'

Thanks in Advance

Account Acct = Account.All.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Name == xAlselector.SelectedAccount.ToString());
Position thisPosition=Acct.Positions.FirstOrDefault(x => x.Instrument.FullName==Instrument.FullName) ;
foreach (Order order in Acct.Orders)
{
if(order.OrderType==OrderType.StopMarket || order.OrderType==OrderType.StopLimit)
{
if(order.OrderState != OrderState.Cancelled & order.OrderState != OrderState.Filled)
{
if (order.Name=="Stop1")
{
thisPosition.BreakEven(new[] { order } ) ;
}
}
}
}

Hello thepcmd,

Thanks for your post.

For a chart trader button example, please see this post by my colleague Chelsea: https://ninjatrader.com/support/foru...ions#post96376

Thank you for your response. I already have the buttons created and functional., I am looking for coding guidance for moving the target on an order. I already can move the Stop but cannot figure out the code for the Targets.

Hello thepcmd,

Thanks for your reply.

I see you are using Position.BreakEven(), please note that this code is undocumented and unsupported and may be subject to change/removal in future versions of NinjaTrader..

For changing orders, we recommend using documented Account.Change().

Reference: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...t8/?change.htm

You can trigger from your button click.

OK, I can change my stops, but that did not answer the original question. I am looking to move the targets and all the examples you have shown deal with stops.

Can the Targets be moved and are there examples either in the manual or in the forum to show this?

Hello thepcmd,

Thanks for your reply.

Yes, the targets would be moved and in the same way.

Sorry, I am not aware of any specific examples to point you to.

Can you at least list the variables - Like in an ATM Strategy you have 'Target 1', 'Target 2' and so on.

Hello Steve,

Thanks for your reply.

Here is an example:

protected void Button1Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
// A button click is a custom event, that is not on a data processing event. BarsAgo references will not work without it, so it is included if BarsAgo references are needed here.
TriggerCustomEvent(o =>
{
if (account == null)
return;

// Create an order and find it on the account
NinjaTrader.Cbi.Order myOrderToChange = null;

foreach (NinjaTrader.Cbi.Order order in account.Orders)
{
if (order.Name == "Target1" && order.Instrument == Instrument)
{
myOrderToChange = order;
}
}

// Create a Position and find it on the account
NinjaTrader.Cbi.Position thisPosition = null;

foreach (NinjaTrader.Cbi.Position position in account.Positions)
{
if (position.Instrument == Instrument)
{
thisPosition = position;
}
}

// If we found a position and order, change the order.
if (myOrderToChange != null && thisPosition != null)
{
// change LimitPriceChanged
myOrderToChange.LimitPriceChanged = thisPosition.AveragePrice+ 8 * TickSize; // adjust to +8 ticks above entry price

// send it to account.Change
account.Change(new [] { myOrderToChange });
}
}, null);


Draw.TextFixed(this, "infobox", "Button 1 Clicked", TextPosition.BottomLeft, Brushes.Green, new Gui.Tools.SimpleFont("Arial", 25), Brushes.Transparent, Brushes.Transparent, 100);
// refresh the chart so that the text box will appear on the next render pass even if there is no incoming data
ForceRefresh();
}
