condition based on entry order

[tkaboris]

Hi i have a strategy and I have this condition that if i have open long order and if certain price action develops i want to cancel the order. Entry order is Breakout Short.
my question is is this the right way to specify position is short and order is from Breakout Short only?
If


if (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Short && Position.Account.Name == "Breakout Short"
&& ((Close[1] < Open[1] && Low[0] < Low[1] && Close[0] > Open[1])
|| (Close[0] > Open[0] && Close[1] > Open[1] && Close[3] > Open[3]) // 3 closes
|| (Close[0] > High[3])))
{

ExitShort(Position.Quantity);
}

Hello tkaboris,

Thank you for your post.

Checking if Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Short will ensure you are currently in a short position before executing the ExitShort().

Can you clarify what you are trying to do with Position.Account.Name == "Breakout Short"? If you only want the ExitShort() to affect your "BreakoutShort" entry order, you can specify the fromEntrySignal to be BreakoutShort. This ties the exit to the entry and exits the position quantity represented by the actual entry.

ExitShort(int quantity, string signalName, string fromEntrySignal)
