¿How can I attach a limit order to an Ema by ninjascript?

Hello.

I need to attach a limit order to an EMA by ninjascript. I´d like that when the price do something then a limit order is placed attached to the Ema.

EnterLongLimit(0, true, DefaultQuantity, EMA2[0], "live until cancelled long"); This is what I am using but when the order is placed, it does not follow the EMA and it keep in the same price where it

Hello jleira,

Thank you for your post.

The code you have will simply place the initial order based on whatever conditions you've chose and would only update the order if the conditions for entry are still true. What you'd need to do is resubmit the order on each bar so it sends an update to the order the next time it goes through On Bar Update. I've attached a very simple example - we save the initial order to an Order variable, then we check it to make sure the order is still active and if so we send a new update for the order so it follows the EMA plot. Once the order has filled and we're no longer in a flat position, we reset our order variable to null to prepare for the next entry.

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