Close open position when fails strategy

[mcjosejavier]

Good morning, I am Spanish and my English is a bit bad. I have a question: if the strategy fails and is disabled, what code do I have to implement to close any open positions? Thank you.

Hello mcjosejavier,

Thanks for your post and welcome to the NinjaTrader forums!

To close any open position, you would go to the "Positions" tab of the control center, right mouse click on any positions and select "Flatten everything".
If there is no position to flatten but there are open profit/stop orders, then you can cancel these in the "Orders" control center. On the right side of each order listed is a cancel column and you need only left click on the "X" to cancel the order.

Sorry, I have not expressed myself correctly.

My question was: if there is an automatic strategy enabled, and enter the market with a buy stop limit order and when the strategy is going to place the order exit long, the strategy gives an error and is disabled, remaining open in longs within the market and without protection. In what way can I indicate to the strategy that if a market exit order gives an error, before disabling it closes any open position?

Thanks again.

There are options you can select regarding RealtimeErrorHandling, however, this would be for advanced programmers.
