Ignored SubmitOrderManaged() method

[Gerik]

Hello,

I have two Long Positions of the same instrument in NinjaTrader. I can see this in the Positions tab of NinjaTrader. The reason, why there are two positions, is unclear form me anyhow.

I use the following code to exit the long position:

"targetOrder = ExitLongLimit(0, true, 1, LongExitLimit, "myLongExit", "myLongEntry");"

In my strategy, I use in OnStateChange also

"IsAdoptAccountPositionAware = true;
StartBehavior = StartBehavior.AdoptAccountPosition;"

Unfortunately, I get the error message in the NinjaScript Output with the reason "This was an exit order but no position exists to exit'.

What did I do wrong?

Kind you
Gerik

Hello Gerik,

Thank you for your reply.

CRITICAL — If your inquiry involves live orders, please always reach out to your broker's Orders Desk immediately to confirm and manage your live orders and positions.

That exit order wouldn't be able to exit an existing position - it could only exit an order generated by the strategy with the name "myLongEntry". So when the conditions to trigger that exit for an adopted position are true, you would get that error. You'd need a different exit to exit an adopted position that didn't use the signal names.

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

Hello Kate,

How can I exit an adopted position without signal names?

Hello Gerik,

Thank you for your reply.

You'd need to submit the stop loss and target for it without specifying the FromEntrySignal. I've attached an example one of my colleagues created that shows how to submit those only for the initial order when it starts up.
