How to double usual TP set in strategy

[tkaboris]

Hi I have this code for my order management and for runner trade i want to double the usuall TP set in settings. Is there a quick way of doing it?

if (order.IsShort)
                {
                    double tp = Instrument.MasterInstrument.RoundToTickSize(averageFillPrice - ProfitTarget * TickSize);

                    if (ProfitTarget > 0 && tp.ApproxCompare(bid) < 0)
                    {
                        targetOrder = SubmitOrderUnmanaged(0, OrderAction.BuyToCover, OrderType.Limit, filled, tp, 0, oco, "PT");
                    }

                    double sl = Instrument.MasterInstrument.RoundToTickSize(averageFillPrice + StopLoss * TickSize);

                    if (StopLoss > 0 && sl.ApproxCompare(ask) > 0)
                    {
                        stopOrder = SubmitOrderUnmanaged(0, OrderAction.BuyToCover, OrderType.StopMarket, filled, 0, sl, oco, "SL");
                    }

                }

{
                           entryOrder = SubmitOrderUnmanaged(0, OrderAction.SellShort, OrderType.Market, TradeSize, 0, 0, "", "BR");

                        return;
                    }​

Hello tkaboris,

Do you mean double the quantity?

You are supplying the variable filled as the quantity

SubmitOrderUnmanaged(0, OrderAction.BuyToCover, OrderType.Limit, filled, tp, 0, oco, "PT")
SubmitOrderUnmanaged(int selectedBarsInProgress, OrderAction orderAction, OrderType orderType, int quantity, double limitPrice, double stopPrice, string oco, string signalName)

https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/submitorderunmanaged.htm

Just multiply this by 2 to double the quantity.

SubmitOrderUnmanaged(0, OrderAction.BuyToCover, OrderType.Limit, filled * 2, tp, 0, oco, "PT")

Hello tkaboris,

You are supplying tp for the price.

How are you calculating that price?

Lets say you are currently adding 10 ticks.

tp = Position.AveragePrice + 10 * TickSize

You could calculate double the number of ticks.

tp = Position.AveragePrice + 20 * TickSize
or
tp = Position.AveragePrice + 10 * 2 * TickSize
