Hello Pladijske,

Thank you for your reply.

You can use Instrument.FullName to get the instrument name and expiry if applicable:

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
  // Print the full name (including contract month) of the configured instrument
  Print(String.Format("{0} is being used as the input series", Instrument.FullName));
}

For the Period, you can get that from BarsPeriod:

Print(BarsPeriod.Value + " " + BarsPeriod.BarsPeriodType);

You can use those in the message that the SendMail sends to get that info.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance to you.

Hello Kate,

Thank you but where do I have to put that in the sendmail()?

I now use:

SendMail(@"XXX@XXX", @"Aankoop Dax Short", + Environment.NewLine + "Prijs = " + Convert.ToString(Close[0]) + ";" + Environment.NewLine + "Tijd = "+ Convert.ToString(Times[0][0].TimeOfDay) + ";" + Environment.NewLine + "Aantal = " + Convert.ToString(Position.Quantity));

Do I just add:
+ Environment.NewLine + "Welk Instrument = " + Instrument.Fullname
+ Environment.NewLine + "Welk Timeframe = " + BarsPeriod.BarsPeriodType

Or is that not correct?

Hello Pladijske,

SendMail takes a string as input for the message body.

You can create a new string, add those items to your string and then pass that string to SendMail.

I have included some educational resources on working with strings in C#. This is a publicly available resource external to NinjaTrader.

https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/csharp/programming-guide/strings/

https://www.tutorialspoint.com/csharp/csharp_strings.htm

SendMail documentation can be referenced below.

We look forward to assisting.

Dear Kate,
I have 2 strategys. 1 for Long and 1 for Short.
In both the "start" with:

if (State == State.SetDefaults)
            {
                Description                        = @"Geeft een kooporder als de indicator 2 of meer is";
                Name                            = "ShortDax50TicksStrategyKopen2FUTS";
                Calculate                        = Calculate.OnBarClose;
                EntriesPerDirection                = 5;
                EntryHandling                    = EntryHandling.AllEntries;
                IsExitOnSessionCloseStrategy    = false;
                ExitOnSessionCloseSeconds        = 30;
                IsFillLimitOnTouch                = false;
                MaximumBarsLookBack                = MaximumBarsLookBack.TwoHundredFiftySix;
                OrderFillResolution                = OrderFillResolution.Standard;
                Slippage                        = 2;
                StartBehavior                    = StartBehavior.WaitUntilFlat;
                TimeInForce                        = TimeInForce.Gtc;
                TraceOrders                        = true;
                RealtimeErrorHandling            = RealtimeErrorHandling.StopCancelClose;
                StopTargetHandling                = StopTargetHandling.ByStrategyPosition;
                BarsRequiredToTrade                = 20;
                // Disable this property for performance gains in Strategy Analyzer optimizations
                // See the Help Guide for additional information
                IsInstantiatedOnEachOptimizationIteration    = true;

            }
//and also:
if ((Times[0][0].TimeOfDay > new TimeSpan(2, 10, 0))
                 && (Times[0][0].TimeOfDay < new TimeSpan(20, 45, 0))
                 && (Position.Quantity == 0)

But when I visualize this on the chart, it happens that when I am long (like 2 futs) the "short"strategy also sells 1 fut short allthough it is mentioned "Position.quantity==0"

How is this possible and what can I do to prevent this?

Kind regards,

Ladis

Hello Pladjiske,

Thank you for your reply.

Position.Quantity refers only to the position of the individual strategy, not the entire account position. Strategies aren't aware of other strategies' positions. I would advise combining your short and long logic into a single strategy if you want them to be aware of the positions.

Also, this thread is getting extremely lengthy and off the original topic. Please make new threads for any questions that are unrelated to the original forum topic.
