ExitShortStopMarket disappears

[Samario]

Hi,

When I set up an ExitShortStopMarket and the market reaches such a price, but at that same time a new bar starts, the ExitShortStopMarket disappears.

The problem is that it should have exited from the market at such a price but it didn't because the event of a new bar has raised I suppose.

1. Is there a way to fix that?
2. Is there a way to check if an ExitStop is in place?

I am using Strategy Builders, not coding yet.

Thank you in advance.

Regards,
Jose

Hello Jose,

Thanks for your post.

From the Managed Approach help guide: "By default, orders submitted via Entry() and Exit() methods automatically cancel at the end of a bar if not re-submitted"

Managed Approach: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...d_approach.htm

Instead, you would need to use Exit methods such as ExitShortStopMarket() with the isLiveUntilCanceled property set to true and ensure that your logic is only calling the Exit methods once so that the order does not reset. When the isLiveUntilCanceled property is set to true the order will NOT expire at the end of a bar but instead remain live until the CancelOrder() method is called or its time in force is reached.

Note that you would have to unlock the code from the Strategy Builder by clicking the Unlock Code button and manually program your strategy to use the isLiveUntilCanceled property for Exit methods.

Please refer to the help guide link below regarding Exit methods and the isLiveUntilCanceled property.

And, see the attached example script demonstrating the use of the isliveUntilCanceled property.
