Error in script when putting an entry

[alexjrj]

Hello everyone.
I am new and I don't know if I have created the post in the right place.

My problem is that I have a script running and I have the following problem:

There are times when the script is trading I get the following error and the script stops working:

Buy order stop price must be above last trade price ExchangeRejectCode = 2061 affected Order: Buy 2 StopMarket @ 15133.75

The strategy 'xxxxxxx' has sent an order that has generated the following error 'Order rejected'. The strategy has sent cancellation requests, tried to close the position and terminated itself.

The question is that I have tried to fix the problem and I have not succeeded.

This is the last test I have done to try to solve the problem at the time of placing the entry.

if(High[0] - GetCurrentBid() < 4){

EnterLongStopMarket(0, true, 1, GetCurrentBid()+3, "MyEntry");

}else{

EnterLongStopMarket(0, true, 1, High[0], "MyEntry");

}

I hope someone can help me

Thank you very much

Hello alexjrj,

Welcome to the NinjaTrader forums!

As this pertains to strategy development, I have moved your thread from the Platform Technical Support section of the forums to the Strategy Development section.

So a buy stop order must have the stop price above the current ask price. (buys at the ask, sells at the bid)

If you are wanting to use the High of the bar (or any calculated price) you will want to ensure this is a valid price.

double stopPrice = High[0];

if (High[0] <= GetCurrentAsk())
    stopPrice = GetCurrentAsk() - TickSize;

EnterLongStopMarket(0, true, 1, stopPrice, "MyEntry");

I had not understood the GetCurrentBid() and GetCurrentAsk(), it seems that the first time I wrote the code I did it right but with the functions on the contrary.

Thank you very much.

Good I have tried the code and I got the error again.

This is the code:

double stopPrice = High[0];

if (High[0] <= GetCurrentAsk())
stopPrice = GetCurrentAsk() - TickSize;

EnterLongStopMarket(0, true, 1, stopPrice, "MyEntry");

what could it be about? I am using several dataseries, could it have something to do with it?

thanks

Hello alexjrj,

Apologies, that should be GetCurrentAsk() + TickSize.

double stopPrice = High[0];

if (High[0] <= GetCurrentAsk())
stopPrice = GetCurrentAsk() + TickSize;

EnterLongStopMarket(0, true, 1, stopPrice, "MyEntry");

With the added series, is this with the same instrument or a different instrument?

[alexjrj]

I have corrected it, thank you very much.

The dataseries are from the same instrument.
