Hello f.saeidi,

Thank you for your post.

EnterLong() does generate a buy order to enter a long position. You can use EnterShort() to enter a short position.

The help guide page below lists the order methods for the managed approach:

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

You can use SetProfitTarget() and SetStopLoss() as well.

why its not work for buy??

[NinjaTrader_Gaby]

Hello,

Thank you for your response.

If the strategy is applied to a chart, is there data with new bars appearing on the chart the Strategy is applied to?

Is the strategy showing as enabled on the Strategies tab of the Control Center?

Importantly, are there errors appearing on the Log tab of the Control Center?


Try testing the Sample MA Crossover strategy included with NinjaTrader on the same chart or Strategy Analyzer using the same instrument, bar type, interval, and date range.

Do you see results with the Sample MA Crossover strategy? (This would confirm for us data is available and the issue is with the logic in the custom script)


If the strategy is getting data and the strategy is enabled or a backtest is run with no errors in the Log tab of the Control Center, and the Sample MA Crossover is returning results, then would likely indicate the logic conditions in the custom strategy did not evaluate as true or orders are being ignored or cancelled.

In order to better understand how the code is working, it will be necessary to use Print to see how the conditions are evaluating and enable TraceOrders to see if orders are being submitted, ignored, rejected, or cancelled.

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

https://ninjatrader.com/support/forum/forum/ninjatrader-7/strategy-development-aa/99209-date-conditions-not-working?p=791121#post791121

Enable TraceOrders, print the time of the bar and all values used in the conditions that submit entry orders. Include labels for all values and comparison operators.

Let me know if you need any assistance creating a print or enabling TraceOrders.

Save the output from the output window to a text file and provide this with your reply.

I'll be happy to assist with analyzing the output.

plz give me your desire code for long and sell?
i mean your example that work without make with strategy builder.

[NinjaTrader_Gaby]

Hello,

There is no specific desired code for using EnterLong() or EnterShort().

I recommend taking a look at the SampleMACrossover script included in NinjaTrader, which demonstrates using EnterLong() and EnterShort() with CrossAbove and CrossBelow conditions.

Please let us know if you have any further questions.

[f.saeidi]

when i make with strategy builder long and short position work well but its not work when i enter (enter long and enter short) command.
main problem in on this command .

[f.saeidi]

plz give me this ma cross enter long link.

[f.saeidi]

as your advise i saw ma cross:

// Only enter if at least 10 bars has passed since our last entry
if ( CrossAbove(SMA(10), SMA(20), 1))
EnterLong(1,"SMA Cross Entry");

again its not work.
i dont want to use strategy builder.i need to enter direct command.
what is your advise?
its seems again we have serious problem with ninja script.

[f.saeidi]

I find what problem is.
Your format for enter long and enter short is not complete.
I guess nt8 manual pdf is weak and you need to upgrade with complete and practical commands.
