Problem with Order Execution

[signalworks]

Hello,

there were execution problems in the strategy at a customer whose log entries are unclear.
The strategy orders with EnterShortStopMarket(1, true, Lots, shortEntryLevel, "SE") and ExitShortStopMarket(1, true, Lots, shortExitLevel, "SX", "SE");
How to interpret the log when it says :

07/06/2023 16:01 NinjaScript NinjaScript strategy 'A - 15:30-15:59 70:40:54:75 6 contracts/247348185' sends order.

and

07/06/2023 16:01 NinjaScript NinjaScript strategy 'B - NQ Short 4/247348113' sends order.

Were there two strategies running here?






Thank you.

Hello signalworks,

Logs can contain sensitive information, such as account numbers. Moving forward, should have inquiries that are scripting related and the log needs to be provided, please send an email to scriptingsupport [at] ninjatrader [dot] com.

That said, I am only seeing 1 order submitted in this log from strategy STRAT01 with instance ID 247348185.

2023-07-06 21:54 Standard strategy 'STRAT01/247348185' submitted an order that generated the following error 'Order rejected'. Strategy sent deletion requests, tried to close the position and ended itself.
2023-07-06 21:54 Default Disable NinjaScript strategy 'STRAT01/247348185'

The error is from the brokerage
Native error='This account is only allowed to liquidate open positions'

I would contact the brokerage and inquire why the account is not able to open new positions.

Thank you Chelsea! I wrote to scriptingsupport.

One more question about something I noticed in the log file:

Since the position was closed manually by the client, the account was flat, however, just before the close of the trade, the strategy still ran the logic of the strategy "to close a position at certain time" and wrote an error message to the log.
The market position of the strategy was obviously not FLAT, because for this logic execution the market position is queried in the code

How can be taken into account in the code when manual intervention occurs? Strategy position vs account position. I didn't find this scenario in the help, only ones that take effect when a strategy is started.

Thanks a lot!

Hello signalworks,

Manual orders do not affect the strategy position or order methods. You would need the strategy to place the order to change the strategies position.
You could do this through a button click.
