SampleOnOrderUpdate

[AdeptistJune]

In the example of the SampleOnOrderUpdate, it gives an example of how to monitor a long position.

// Update our exit order quantities once orderstate turns to filled and we have seen execution quantities match order quantities
else if (execution.Order.OrderState == OrderState.Filled && sumFilled == execution.Order.Filled)
{
// Stop-Loss order for OrderState.Filled
stopOrder = ExitLongStopMarket(0, true, execution.Order.Filled, execution.Order.AverageFillPrice - 4 * TickSize, "MyStop", "MyEntry");
targetOrder = ExitLongLimit(0, true, execution.Order.Filled, execution.Order.AverageFillPrice + 8 * TickSize, "MyTarget", "MyEntry");
}
// Update our exit order quantities once orderstate turns to filled and we have seen execution quantities match order quantities
else if (execution.Order.OrderState == OrderState.Filled && sumFilled == execution.Order.Filled)
{
// Stop-Loss order for OrderState.Filled
stopOrder = ExitLongStopMarket(0, true, execution.Order.Filled, execution.Order.AverageFillPrice - 4 * TickSize, "MyStop", "MyEntry");
targetOrder = ExitLongLimit(0, true, execution.Order.Filled, execution.Order.AverageFillPrice + 8 * TickSize, "MyTarget", "MyEntry");
}

How would I code those lines of code to manage a short position?

Also, and how would I code the example if I have multiple entry signals?

Thanks,

Hello AdeptistJune,

In the code you have extracted you can see the order names which would be how you find orders in OnOrderUpdate or OnExecutionUpdate. If you have multiple orders you just look for the order name which you want.

That sample only has a few variables, if you wanted to expand it to support many orders you could create more variables and then make many conditions inside OnorderUpdate to find specific order names.
You can see a sample of using the name here: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...=onorderupdate

if (order.Name == "MyLongEntry")
    myLongEntryVariable  = order;

Please let me know if I may be of additional assistance
