Whats wrong with my strategy? (Limit Orders)

[rickyblah12]

This is Long
EnterLongLimit(DefaultQuantity, (GetCurrentBid(Default input) + (Buy_Limit * TickSize)) , "");
This is Short
EnterShortLimit(DefaultQuantity, (GetCurrentAsk(Default input) + (Sell_Limit * TickSize)) , "");

The default number for Buy_Limit is -10
The default number for Sell_Limit is 10

I keep getting errors

Hello rickyblah12,

What are the errors that you are seeing?

The only item I can see is that normally you would subtract the long value rather than using the negative value like this, but as long as that is calculating to a price lower than the close it should be able to work.

I look forward to being of further assistance.

Hello rickyblah12,

You would just use a negative symbol instead of a plus symbol to subtract the positive value, you are using a negative value which should accomplish the same task. I only noted that because it is different than what we usually see however if you are certain that is calculating a valid price it shouldn't matter.

What errors are you getting? Without that detail we are just guessing at what may be wrong, the error should contain a specific reason and can let us know if it relates to the code you have shown.

Hello rickyblah12,

Thank you for providing the error.

When using the managed approach I would not expect an oco to be reused. Can you attach a sample strategy that demonstrates this happening so that I can review this? If you have logic which is generating an error about OCO I would want to collect the syntax and steps used to see that so we can understand why.

If the strategy builder is what is generated the prices that would be fine you don't need to change anything but I would still want to see what you made to explore the error.

I look forward to being of further assistance.

I used the strategy builder...how can I stop this from happening then?

Hello rickyblah12,

I understand and I am trying to help, however I would still need a sample of the strategy to continue. Can you attach the strategy for review?

You can attach the strategy file from the folder Documents\NinjaTrader 8\bin\Custom\Strategies

Please let me know if I may be of additional assistance.
