Enter Limit Order With Offset

[26psicivic]

Hello I was wondering if it's possible to EnterLongLimit with a tick offset. Lets say 2 or 3 ticks lower than current price.
Does anyone know if it's possible and what the code would be?
Thanks

Hello 26psicivic,

Thanks for your post.

Yes, it is possible to enter a limit order with a tick offset. To offset a value, such as a price, by a set number of ticks you could use TickSize.

For example, the code below would enter a buy limit order 3 ticks below the current Close price.

EnterLongLimit(1, Close[0] + 3 * TickSize, "LongLimitEntry");

See the help guide documentation below for more information.

You could also consider setting up an action to enter a limit order in the Strategy Builder with a tick offset and then click the 'View code' button to see the generated syntax.

See the 'How to enter a market position' section of this help guide page explaining creating offsets for entry orders in the Strategy Builder: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...t8/actions.htm
