{Ninjascript} NT8 - create stop orders and SL, TP

[fscabrera03]

Dear all, hope you are fine,
I need to create Stop and Limit Orders and set (for each orders) StopLoss and ProfitTarget
Please, could you give me some code sample?

Hello fscabrera03,

Thanks for your post.

Here is an example of a long limit entry:

if (some entry conditions)
{
SetProfitTarget(CalculationMode.Ticks, 20); // set profit before entry
SetStopLoss(CalculationMode.Ticks, 20); // ste stop before entry
EnterLongLimit(0, true, 1, entryPrice, ""); // using the Advanced order handling overload.
}

Here is an example of stop limit entry:

if (some entry conditions)
{
SetProfitTarget(CalculationMode.Ticks, 20); // set profit before entry
SetStopLoss(CalculationMode.Ticks, 20); // ste stop before entry
EnterStopLongLimit(0, true, 1, entryPrice, entryPrice ""); // using the Advanced order handling overload.
}

I would suggest spending some time reviewing the Managed Approach section that lists all of the entry methods and provides an example of each: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...d_approach.htm

Thank you so much, i did it!
Here is my code:

else if (State == State.Configure)
{
SetProfitTarget("", CalculationMode.Pips, 20);
SetStopLoss("", CalculationMode.Pips, 20, false);
}
}

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
if (BarsInProgress != 0)
return;

if (CurrentBars[0] < 2)
return;

// Set 1
if ((Close[0] > Open[0])
&& (Close[1] > Open[1])
&& (Close[2] > Open[2]))
{
EnterLongStopMarket(Convert.ToInt32(DefaultQuantit y), 1.0845 , "");
}

}

Now, Im having one more question, how can I create this EnterLongStopMarket with expiration date?
I need that this order (if is not filled) exist 1 week and if is not filled cancell it.

Can you help me with some sample code please?

Hello fscabrera03,

Thanks for your reply.

In your first post you have a tag that says Ninjascript editor. In your Post #3 you have posted code that appears to be generated by the strategy builder.

So that I can provide an appropriate reply, please advise if you are using the Ninjascript editor or the Strategy Builder. The reason for asking is that the Strategy Builder has certain limitations.

I have created the strateg on the strategy builder but unlocked the code to see in ninjascript editor

Hello fscabrera03,

Thanks for your reply.

If I understand correctly you have unlocked the Strategy Builder strategy and are now working with it in the Ninjascript editor.

Regarding, "how can I create this EnterLongStopMarket with expiration date?" In a Ninjascript strategy, you cannot provide an order with an expiration date. What you can do is to place an order what will remain live until you cancel it and you can create logic in your Ninjascript to check if the market position is flat on that date and then cancel the order. You cannot do this in the Strategy Builder.

Here is a link to the help guide on the Managed Approach which will provide an overview of Ninjascriopt strategies: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...d_approach.htm In that section you will find links to all of the order methods and in each order method you will find the "advance Order handling" overload that includes the bool "IsLiveUntilCanceled" that you would need to use to keep the order in place (otherwise it is automatically cancled if not filled on the same bar it is submitted).

Here is a link to the Cancel order method and an example strategy:
