Running a Strategy with Manual Intervention + How to stop a strategy

[rasdaka]

Hi,
As I watch the strategy execute, I'm trying to move my stop up manually, but it keeps resetting itself to its original position with each bar. My strategy is set to 'on bar close'. So that makes sense. But I am curious, is there a way to execute a strategy such that manual intervention can be allowed..?

Also, I've noticed that on simulation mode, when I end a strategy, the account value keeps changing - looks like the orders did not completely cancel! How do I END or STOP executing a Strategy such that all orders are immediately closed out and the account is FLAT? This is certainly important when the strategy is executing on the actual account.

Thanks.

Hello rasdaka,

You will need to submit an exit order using isLiveUntilCancelled as true, and then not update the order after submitting it.

See the post below with details.

To automatically cancel working entry and exits enable 'Cancel entry orders when a strategy is disabled' and 'Cancel exit orders when a strategy is disabled' in Tools -> Options -> Strategy.

To submit an order to close a position, call ExitLong() and ExitShort() when State is State.Terminated in OnStateChange().

You could also call CancelOrder() with any orders assigned to variables in OnOrderUpdate() when the strategy is terminating.

Thanks, ChelseaB. I've set the config on Tools > Options > Strategy as advised.

I do wonder about the 'ATM Strategy' config items. Curious if you might be able to direct me to some documentation explaining these options..?



Many thanks!

Hello RK,

This is related to Atm Strategy templates and not NinjaScript.

Below is a link to the help guide definitions.
