Hello John abraham,

Thank you for your post.

One thing I want to note is that you are calling SetStopLoss from OnOrderUpdate() - if you are updating the stop loss dynamically, we recommend doing this from OnBarUpdate(). From the Help Guide:

"You may call this method from within the strategy OnBarUpdate() method should you wish to dynamically change the stop loss price while in an open position."

Set methods should also be called before the entry if you are calculating custom prices.

"Should you call this method to dynamically change the stop loss price in the strategy OnBarUpdate() method, you should always reset the stop loss price / offset value when your strategy is flat otherwise, the last price/offset value set will be used to generate your stop loss order on your next open position"

https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/setstoploss.htm

If you want to submit protective orders from OnOrderUpdate(), we would recommend using Exit methods and following the SampleOnOrderUpdate reference sample that demonstrates using OnOrderUpdate() and OnExecution() to enter protective orders.

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 date time of the bar and all values compared in every condition that places an order.

The prints should include the time of the bar and should print all values from all variables and all hard coded values in all conditions that must evaluate as true for this action to be triggered. It is very important to include a text label for each value and for each comparison operator in the print to understand what is being compared in the condition sets.

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

Further, enable TraceOrders which will let us know if any orders are being ignored and not being submitted when the condition to place the orders is evaluating as true.

I am happy to assist you with analyzing the output from the output window.

Run or backtest the script and when the output from the output window appears save this by right-clicking the output window and selecting Save As... -> give the output file a name and save -> then attach the output text file to your reply.

Below is a link to a forum post that demonstrates using informative prints to understand behavior and includes a link to a video recorded using the Strategy Builder to add prints.

Please let me know if I may further assist with analyzing the output or if you need any assistance creating a print or enabling TraceOrders.

Hello John,

Unfortunately, from the code it is not clear to me what error you are facing. Is there a specific error you are seeing the Log tab of the Control Center?

If you are having trouble with the script placing orders when not expected, adding prints and debugging using TraceOrders is necessary.

Please let me know if you have any further questions.
