Flattend Account

[Skechers]

Hello,

I've managed to find the Account definition: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...ount_class.htm

There is an example at the bottom. I'm unclear on where the Account class is declared? It has OnStateChanged handler, but Strategies has that as well.

Is Account a completely separate class? How do I call Flatten from inside of the strategy's OnBarUpdate handler?

Many Thanks, Caesar.

Hello Skechers

The page you linked to shows how to find an account, this would be used in areas where an account is not normally present like indicators. Strategies already have an account selection so this type of addon code wouldn't be used there.

To flatten a strategy from within the strategy you would submit exit orders to close its positions.

Hi Jesse,

I was advised not to use Exit orders when using SetProfitTarget and SetStopLoss.

Is that true?

I also found Position.Close, will that flatten the position in the strategy?

Thanks, Caesar.

Hello,

You can use exit orders while using targets however some types of orders can be ignored. If you are using market orders that would work to close out the position with targets.

position.close is not a documented method so we couldn't suggest using that for a strategy exit.
