Set Stop Loss to Entry Name

[crossbones]

Hello. I am looking a work around to achieve the following:
ExitLongStopMarket("Long 1a", CalculationMode.Ticks, 100);
thanks in advance

Hello crossbones,

Welcome to the NinjaTrader forums!

If you are in a position created with "Long 1a", you could have something similar to:

if (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Long)
{
if (stopPrice == 0)
stopPrice = Position.AveragePrice - 100 * TickSize;

ExitLongStopMarket(stopPrice, "myExit", ("Long 1a")
}

ExitLongStopMarket(double stopPrice, string signalName, string fromEntrySignal)

Below is a link to a forum post with helpful information about getting started with NinjaScript.

Thanks for the code example. I do have a follow up question of how to do something like the below.

if (EntrySignal("Long 1a"))
{
do something
}

Hello crossbones,

There is no EntrySignal() method in NinjaScript. However, you can design your own method to derive a signal and take the actions you desire.

To get acquainted with NinjaScript, I may suggest starting with the Strategy Builder 301 tutorial and then to experiment creating strategy logic following our Conditions and Actions examples. Once you are comfortable setting up logic with these examples, you can incorporate them in a larger strategy.

Strategy Builder 301 — https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_KQF2Sv27oE

Conditions examples —https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...on_builder.htm

Actions examples — https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...us/actions.htm

The Strategy Builder creates Managed Approach NinjaScript code, so it can also help to review our Managed Approach documentation for more information on how positions can be entered and managed.

You can then click the View Code button in the Strategy Builder to see the resulting syntax.

We look forward to assisting.
