EnterShortStopLimit() can be used like a pending order?

[FernandoParra]

Hi Im try with my strategy to place a "pending" or a waiting order in the market , like when we place a manual order on the chart, for example , in my Close[1]>Open[5] , place a short order position on Open[5]-1*TickSize that is the price where I want to place my order, but when Im Testing the strategy in market replay I didnt see the order on the chart just if the close[0] close below Open[5] but the problem is if the close[0] close 10 tick below the Open[5] the order is placed there or I get the error sell stop or sell stop limit cant be place above the market, IDK if the problem is for the market replay that the Close[0] is the "Actual" Price or How can I solved , I wan just place the order on the price that I want and taked on that price, Thanks A lot!
This problem is fixed on realtime data ?

Hello FernandoParra,

Thanks for your post.

Yes, EnterShortStopLimit() could be used to place a sell short stop limit order to enter a short position.

When running the strategy with Calculate.OnBarClose, the Close[0] value refers to the Close price of the bar that just closed. Calculate.OnBarClose means that OnBarUpdate logic will process only at the close of each bar.

To understand why the script is behaving as it is, such as placing orders or not placing orders when expected, it is necessary to add prints to the script that print the values used for the logic of the script to understand how the script is evaluating.

In the strategy add prints (outside of any conditions) that print the values of every variable used in every condition that places an order along with the time of that bar. This will allow you to see how the conditions to place the order are evaluating. Prints will appear in the NinjaScript Output window (New > NinjaScript Output window).

Note that sell stop limit orders must be placed below the current bid price (below the market). If you place the order above the market price, the error you mentioned will appear.

When the order is submitted, is the stop price parameter less than the GetCurrentBid()?

Prints will need to be added to the strategy to determine why the stop order is returning this error or being placed unexpectedly. One line above where the stop order is placed, you could print the GetCurrentBid() value, print the price being submitted to the order method, print the CurrentBar, and print the Time[0].

Below is a link to a forum post that demonstrates using prints to understand behavior.

Hello FernandoParra,

Thanks for your note.

EnterShortStopLimit() takes a stop price argument and a limit price argument.

The stop price argument refers to the stop price of the order and the limit price refers to the limit price of the order. Note that the limit price cannot be greater than the stop price for a sell stop limit order.

The stop-limit order waits until the specified stop price has been reached. Unlike the stop order though, the stop-limit order becomes a limit order instead of a market order when the stop price is reached.
