Order handling issue, Help Please

[Conceptzx]

So Ive been working on a strategy and it seems to be taking trades in undesirable locations.

I want to only enter shorts above the upper MA bands, yet its taking shorts when the price is near the lower bands. Any suggestions? It seems to think its in a long when its not and doesn't flatten, but rather takes a short



for context, Set 1 is for long entry, Set 2 is exiting Longs, and Set 4 is for exiting shorts MNQ6mA, and MNQ6mB are copies of one another, just set at different band settings.

Hello Conceptzx,

Thanks for your post.

Note that running multiple NinjaScript strategies on the same account and same instrument means that the orders placed by 1 strategy could affect how the other strategy places orders.

See this forum thread for detailed information about running multiple NinjaScript strategies on the same account / instrument combination:

I suggest that you test one strategy at a time to ensure that the strategy is placing orders as expected without the second strategy instance interfering with orders being placed.

Note that Entry() methods will reverse the position automatically when they are calling in the opposite direction. For example if you are in a 1 contract long position and now call EnterShort() -> you will see 2 executions, one to close the prior long position and the other to get you into the desired 1 contract short position.

That said, if the strategy is not behaving as expected sometimes then debugging steps should be taken.

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. Prints will appear in the NinjaScript Output window (New > NinjaScript Output window).

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