"ExitLong" error when closing position Unmanaged

Hello good morning.

Thanks for reading me in advance!

I have a problem and I am not finding clear information or examples to solve my next problem for my strategy.

Before I closed my positions at the end of "X" hour with the order

ExitLong(6, @"END LONG", "");

Now I get 1 message "Where it is not possible to use ExitLong"

ninjatrader message:

Strategy 'XEL': Error on calling 'OnBarUpdate' method on bar 81077: Strategy 'XEL >> /251737744': Method 'ExitLong' can't be called on unmanaged strategies.

Thanks again for reading me...!!!

And sorry for the inconvenience, I hope someone can help me please.

if ((Times[0][0].TimeOfDay > HORA_END.TimeOfDay) && (TRADING_RUN_OFF == true))
    {

        if (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Long)
        {

            ExitLong(6, @"END LONG", "");

        }

        if (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Short) Print("SEARCH CODE");

        TRADING_RUN_OFF = false;
    }    ​

Hello kliberthtrading20231107,

Thank you for your post.

ExitLong() cannot be used with the Unmanaged Approach.

Unmanaged Approach - https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...d_approach.htm

To exit a position by using the Unmanaged Approach, you need to use SubmitOrderUnmanaged() that submits an order in the opposite direction of your current position to exit that position.

SubmitOrderUnmanaged() -https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...runmanaged.htm

Make sure you check for a position first, since unlike the Managed Approach, the SubmitOrderUnmanaged() method will not be check to see if you're in a position before executing.

Please see this forum post below which has a sample script demonstrating using the Unmanaged Approach:

If you have any other questions, please let us know.

This recommendation helped me solve my need.

"To exit a position by using the Unmanaged Approach, you need to use SubmitOrderUnmanaged() that submits an order in the opposite direction of your current position to exit that position."

The solution code was:

if ((Times[0][0].TimeOfDay > HORA_FIN.TimeOfDay) && (TRADING_RUN_OFF == true))
    {
        if (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Long)
        {            

            SubmitOrderUnmanaged(
            0,                                               //selectedBarsInProgress,
            OrderAction.Sell,                       //orderAction,
            OrderType.Market,                     //orderType,
            CANTIDAD_CONTRATOS,        //quantity,
            0,                                                //limitPrice,
            0,                                                //stopPrice,
            oco,                                            //oco,
            "Long limit entry 1");                  //signalName,

        }
        if (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Short)
        {    

            SubmitOrderUnmanaged(
            0,                                                           //selectedBarsInProgress,
            OrderAction.Buy,                                   //orderAction,
            OrderType.Market,                                //orderType,
            CANTIDAD_CONTRATOS,                   //quantity,
            0,                                                           //limitPrice,
            0,                                                           //stopPrice,
            oco,                                                       //oco,
            "Short limit entry 1");

        }
