Can i set ExitLongStopLimit and EnterShortStop at the same price

[Kovalev]

Hi everyone. In my strategy i need to set two orders (ExitLongStopLimit and EnterShortStop) at the same price.

i did it this way

 orderCloseLong = ExitLongStopLimit(Close[1], Close[1], "ExitLong", "LongStopLimit");
orderCloseLong.IsLiveUntilCancelled = true;

orderShort = EnterShortStopLimit(1, Close[1], Close[1], "ShortStopLimit");
orderShort.IsLiveUntilCancelled = true;

but

Leeroy_Jenkins, thanks for the hint, but unfortunately I didn't find the answer, it seems I don't know something about the rules of placing orders

Hello Kovalev,

This would not be possible because of the types of orders you have chosen.

A buy stop order must have the stop price above the current ask. A sell stop must have the stop price below the current bid.

These cannot be set to the same price.
Before trying to place the orders through NinjaScript, try placing these manually first.

Hello NinjaTrader_ChelseaB, please tell me - are there any ways to solve my problem?

Hello Kovalev,

You would need to choose order types that are valid at those price levels.

Buy limit orders are placed below the ask, sell limit orders are placed above the bid. A buy stop order must have the stop price above the current ask. A sell stop must have the stop price below the current bid.
