I am trying to automate my exits. I want a strategy to be enabled when I enter a trade, adopt my account position as I buy/short contracts, and then when exit conditions are met, the strategy exits my account position. I rememeber I used to be able to see "adopt account position" as an option in the strategy builder, but I can't find it now. How do I change this in the code. an example of my starting point in the strategy builder is attached for Long exits. thank you!

How to have strategy adopt account position
Hi NT 8 support,
I am trying to automate my exits. I want a strategy to be enabled when I enter a trade, adopt my account position as I buy/short contracts, and then when exit conditions are met, the strategy exits my account position. I rememeber I used to be able to see "adopt account position" as an option in the strategy builder, but I can't find it now. How do I change this in the code. an example of my starting point in the strategy builder is attached for Long exits. thank you!Tags: None

Hello Austiner87,
Thank you for your post.
Adopt Account Position will only be able to adopt the initial position when the strategy is started - you would not be able to just submit orders manually for entries after the strategy has been started and have the strategy manage them. You'd have to stop and restart the strategy every time you make a new entry.
You could consider programming an indicator using add-on code that monitors the account for newly opened positions and uses Add-on code to submit an exit order when your conditions for exit are met, however, this would require more advanced programming skill and would not be something that could be done with the Strategy Builder.

Hello Austiner87,
Thank you for your reply.
The ability to select Adopt Account Position in the Strategy Builder was removed in version 8.0.22.0 because the Strategy Builder was unable to set IsAdoptAccountPositionAware, which must be set to true in order to use it. https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...itionaware.htm
It would not be possible to create a strategy that can adopt the account position in the Strategy Builder, you would have to unlock your code and manually add the necessary logic.
Here's a relatively simple example that will adopt an existing account position and add a stop and target for the adopted position that one of my colleagues created. Note that when imported, it can be found in a folder at the top of the list called "AlanStrategies".
