Check if my last StopLoss is from a Long/Short position

[johnnybegoode]

How do I check if my last StopLoss is from a Long/Short position?

This is my Stop Loss function:

// ************ Stop Loss *****************************

            if     (
                Profit <= -StopLoss
                )                             
            {                        
                ExitLong(Position.Quantity,"StopLoss(Long)","EnterLong");    
                ExitShort(Position.Quantity,"StopLoss(Short)","EnterShort");    
            }

I would like to

if (LastExit == StopLoss(Long))
EnterShort

if(LastExit == StopLoss(Short))
EnterLong

Thank you!

Hello johnnybegoode,

The most simple way would be to use OnExecutionUpdate and look for Filled orders. When you locate an order with one of the names you supplied you could set a variable to the direction order that was.

https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/onexecutionupdate.htm?zoom_highlightsub=onexecu

protected override void OnExecutionUpdate(Execution execution, string executionId, double price, int quantity, MarketPosition marketPosition, string orderId, DateTime time)
{
  if(execution.Order.Name == "StopLoss(Long)")
  {
      //set a variable or do an action, last stop loss was long 
  }
  Print(execution.ToString());
}

I look forward to being of further assistance.

...or, set an int to 1 when entering a long or -1 when going short. Check that number when exiting at a stop loss. After exit reset to 0;
