Trying to close partial position in Strategy

[omermirza]

NinjaTrader Support,

I am trying to close half of my position when my ATR profit target is hit.

However my Strategy always closes both contracts when the profit target is hit. Can you please help? Code is below:

if ((score > 10) && Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Flat)
{
EnterLong(1,"Enter Long Runner");
EnterLong(1,"Enter Long PT");
}


if (score < 5)
{
ExitLong();
}


SetProfitTarget("Enter Long PT", CalculationMode.Currency, multiplier*(2*ATR(6)[0]));

Hello omermirza,

Thank you for your post.

Which StopTargetHandling setting is being used?

• StopTargetHandling

To understand why the script is behaving as it is, such as placing orders or not placing orders as 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.

The debugging print output should clearly show what the condition is, what time the conditions are being compared, all values being compared, and how they are being compared.

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.
Please also print order.ToString() in OnOrderUpdate, which would show the quantity an order is submitted with.
After enabling TraceOrders remove the instance of the strategy from the Configured list in the Strategies window and add a new instance of the strategy from the Available list.

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 support article that demonstrates using informative prints to understand behavior and includes a link to a video recorded using the Strategy Builder to add prints.

I look forward to your response.

I have "StopTargetHandling " set to "StopTargetHandling.ByStrategyPosition"

Interestingly enough it works as expected with Historical Data but not Playback data.

Is there anything else you can tell me before I setup the prints?
