INVERTED PROFIT & STOPLOSS VALUES

[kazbek966]

Something funny had happened. When I placed LONG order with set values of profit and stop losses I got them displayed /entered incorrectly.
Stop loss absolute value became Profit and Vice Versa. Could not wrap my head around it. Enclosing picture and snippet of code.

Slight discrepancy between absolute values entered in the strategy and displayed on the chart is caused by imperfection in ruler measurement.

Hi kazbek966, thanks for writing in.

Did you remove and re-add the strategy to the chart? Are you calling a Set method anywhere other than in OnStateChange? In my test script its working fine. I will need an example of your script if the first two questions do not resolve.

Kind regards,

Hi Chris,
Indeed I repeatedly entered and removed strategy and each time those limits were changing to the effect that they finally reversed
at which point I decided to call cavalry.

Enclosing is snippet before strategy logic.

//This namespace holds Strategies in this folder and is required. Do not change it.
namespace NinjaTrader.NinjaScript.Strategies
{
public class LONGed : Strategy
{
private AuLLMA AuLLMA1;


protected override void OnStateChange()
{
if (State == State.SetDefaults)
{
Description = @"Enter the description for your new custom Strategy here.";
Name = "LONGed";
Calculate = Calculate.OnBarClose;
EntriesPerDirection = 1;
EntryHandling = EntryHandling.AllEntries;
IsExitOnSessionCloseStrategy = true;
ExitOnSessionCloseSeconds = 180;
IsFillLimitOnTouch = false;
MaximumBarsLookBack = MaximumBarsLookBack.TwoHundredFiftySix;
OrderFillResolution = OrderFillResolution.Standard;
Slippage = 0;
StartBehavior = StartBehavior.WaitUntilFlat;
TimeInForce = TimeInForce.Gtc;
TraceOrders = true;
RealtimeErrorHandling = RealtimeErrorHandling.IgnoreAllErrors;
StopTargetHandling = StopTargetHandling.PerEntryExecution;
BarsRequiredToTrade = 1;
// Disable this property for performance gains in Strategy Analyzer optimizations
// See the Help Guide for additional information
IsInstantiatedOnEachOptimizationIteration = true;
}
else if (State == State.Configure)
{
AddDataSeries("MNQ 06-22", Data.BarsPeriodType.Minute, 1, Data.MarketDataType.Last);
}
else if (State == State.DataLoaded)
{
AuLLMA1 = AuLLMA(Close, 1, 1);
}
}

protected override void OnBarUpdate()


Cheers

Hi kazbek, I uploaded a very simple strategy that works. You can test this by adding the file to Documents\NinjaTrader 8\bin\Custom\Strategies and compiling. Run it on a 10 second chart and let one real time bar close. It will submit an entry order with the correct stop loss and profit target. Notice I am not using a signal name overload because my entry order does not have a signal name.

Kind regards,
