exit method problem

[trader3000a]

Hi,

I'm unable to find a snippet to assist. I'm trying to place a limit exit at the median price of [0] if i get a close below an sma. This is where I am so far: I have the condition, but can't get the limit order going:

if (CrossBelow(Close, SMA(Close, Convert.ToInt32(26)), 1))
{
ExitLongLimit(Convert.ToInt32(DefaultQuantity), (Median[0] ) , "");
}


I also tried

if (CrossBelow(Close, SMA(Close, Convert.ToInt32(26)), 1))
{
SetProfitTarget(Convert.ToInt32(DefaultQuantity), (Median[0] ) , "");
}

Any direction would be appreciated, thx
David

Hello trader3000a,

Thanks for your post.

This type of condition/action could be set up using the Strategy Builder. Then you could view the code that accomplishes this by clicking the 'View code' button in the Strategy Builder.

You would open a New > Strategy Builder window, navigate to the Conditions and Actions section, create a condition that checks if the Close price crosses below the SMA indicator, and call ExitLongLimit() with the Limit Price field set to Median[0].

The code would look something like this.

if (CrossBelow(Close, SMA(Close, 14), 1))
{
ExitLongLimit(Convert.ToInt32(DefaultQuantity), Median[0], "", "");
}

See this help guide for more information about creating an indicator to value comparison and crossover comparisons: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...on_builder.htm
