Partially close a position : SL & TP update

[TradeForge]

Hi Guys;

Using a custom window where user can choose an ATM, I send some market orders.
When I partial close a position, let's say from 4 QTY to 2, the stop loss and take profit keeps 4 QTY.

How please may I partial close a position in an Addon without using Strategy base code and update SL & TP with the new position size?

(e.g partially close passing by chart trader works prefectly, here, I would need a custom button for the partial close)

Thanks

Hello TradeForge,

Thank you for your post.

Can you please clarify how exactly you are submitting the orders in your AddOn script?

In an AddOn script, you should use Account.CreateOrder() to create the order to partially close the position and Account.Submit() to submit that order.

CreateOrder() - https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...reateorder.htm
Submit() - https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/submit.htm

I look forward to assisting further.

Hi Gaby;

Thank your for your answer.

In fact I already use the methods you mentionned.
In case the user select a strategy using the visual component, then I start the ATM

Here the part of the code when I submit an order:


My issue here it's when an order is taken using the ATM, with a quantity/market size of 4 lots let's say, and if I manlualy close 2 lots, the SL and TP remain 4 Lots instead of 2.
I would like the SL and TP to be updated with the new position size, by code

Hello,

Thank you for your response.

Can you clarify, are you trying to close these orders manually or by code? Apologies as I'm a little confused since you mentioned doing it manually but also asked how to accomplish this by code.

Would you be able to provide a reduced test script that demonstrates the behavior?
