How to close/cancel all positions & orders?

[Skechers]

Hello,

At the beginning and end of my session I would like to close out any lingering positions and orders.

To exit a position:
1. I have found MarketPosition which tells me whether the position is long or short
2. I can use ExitLong() or ExitShort() accordingly (and no I'm not using SetProfitTarget or SetStopLoss)

For orders it's murkier, there is no method to get all active orders.
How would I go about canceling all active orders?

I see Account.CancelAllOrders() is that accessible from the Strategy class/namespace?

Many Thanks, Caesar.

Hello Caesar,

Thanks for your post.

<Account>.CancelAllOrders() could be used to cancel all orders on an instrument. This method can be used in a NinjaScript strategy.

See this help guide page for more information about accessing the Account class and sample code: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...ount_class.htm

See this help guide page about <Account>.CancelAllOrders() and sample code: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...lallorders.htm

Another way to cancel all orders from the strategy is you can loop through the orders in the account and cancel them with CancelOrder().

See this forum thread for more information about looping through orders on the account and canceling them with CancelOrder(): https://ninjatrader.com/support/foru...17#post1130617

Please let me know if I may further assist.

Hello Brandon,

CAncelAllOrders require an Instrument parameter be passed, where do I get Instrument from?

Many Thanks, Caesar.

Hello Skechers,

Thanks for your note.

You could pass in Instrument for the CancelAllOrders(Instrument instrument) argument.

For example, <Account>.CancelAllOrders(Instrument).

Many Thanks, Caesar.

You could use Bars.Instrument to dynamically detect the instrument whose bars are being rendered on the chart. I tried that recently and works for me by using <Account>.CancelAllOrders(Bars.Instrument);
