how do I capture and modify order information?

[cre8able]

I place orders through the DOM. But I have a variable target and can't place that with an ATM. So I would like to place my order in the DOM, then have a strategy adjust the stop and trail according to rules I have in the strategy. Seems simple but I can't find a starting point for finding info on an open order. Can someone point me in the right direction
thanks

Hello Mike,

Thanks for your post.

NinjaScript strategies can only see orders placed by that specific instance of the strategy and they cannot see manually placed orders.

The strategy would need to be programmed to place the entry order along with a profit target and trailing stop order. The profit target and trailing stop could then be modified in the strategy according to the conditions you create.

My colleague Chelsea has created educational examples of strategy builder breakeven and trailing stop in the strategy builder here:

Below is a link to a forum post with helpful information about getting started with NinjaScript.

If you are new to C#, to get a basic foundation for the concepts and syntax used in NinjaScript I would recommend this section of articles in our help guide first:
