Can't place several orders

[Defake]

In my strategy, when I got some signal, I want to enter into a position with current price and then set Take-limit-order and Stop-limit-order. I write this code:

EnterLongLimit(tradeParams.max, Bars.LastPrice);
ExitLongLimit(tradeParams.max, Bars.LastPrice + TickSize * 2);
ExitLongStopLimit(tradeParams.max, Bars.LastPrice - TickSize * 5);

And I only get placed the first order. How to place another two?

Hello Defake,

The ExitLongLimit and ExitLongStopLimit would not be placed until the entry order is filled.

Under tips at the following section of our helpguide for ExitLongLimit you will see,

This method is ignored if a long position does not exist

Okay, I read example from http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...r_handling.htm
And try to repeat this in my strategy. But anyway I can't place exit orders even if the enter order is already filled.

Placing enter order:

            if (Position.Quantity == 0 && curOrder == null)
            {
                
                if (decision > 0)
                {
                    curOrder =  EnterLongLimit(tradeParams.max, Bars.LastPrice, "EnterOrder");
                    toLongOrder = true;
                }
                else if (decision < 0)
                {
                    curOrder = EnterShortLimit(tradeParams.max, Bars.LastPrice, "EnterOrder");
                    toLongOrder = false;
                }
            }

And OnOrderUpdateFunction:

        protected override void OnOrderUpdate(Order order, double limitPrice, double stopPrice, int quantity, int filled, double averageFillPrice, OrderState orderState, DateTime time, ErrorCode error, string nativeError)
        {
            // if exited from trade, clear all remaining orders (e.g. remaining stop order)
            if (order.Name == "ExitOrder" && orderState == OrderState.Filled)
                Orders.Clear();

            // if Enter order is filled, place exit orders
            if (curOrder != null && order == curOrder && order.OrderState == OrderState.Filled)
            {
                if (toLongOrder)
                {
                    ExitLongLimit(tradeParams.max, order.AverageFillPrice + TickSize * tradeParams.take, "ExitOrder", "EnterOrder");
                    ExitLongStopLimit(tradeParams.max, order.AverageFillPrice - TickSize * tradeParams.stop, "ExitOrder", "EnterOrder");
                }
                else
                {
                    ExitShortLimit(tradeParams.max, order.AverageFillPrice - TickSize * tradeParams.take, "ExitOrder", "EnterOrder");
                    ExitShortStopLimit(tradeParams.max, order.AverageFillPrice + TickSize * tradeParams.stop, "ExitOrder", "EnterOrder");
                }

                curOrder = null;
            }
        }

I got the same situation with this code. Strategy can place enter orders, but when they are filled nothing happens. What am I doing wrong?

Is there any information about this in your log? Have you looked?

Hello Defake,

I would suggest adding print statements to check whether your conditions are becoming true. For example I would put a print statement above if(toLongOrder), Print(“Getting to this part”);, as well as within that block to see if it’s being considered and whether the if statement is becoming true. You could also print the value of your variables as well as what you are checking them against, for example Print(order.ToString());

I’ve provided a link to a youtube video which covers an example of using prints to understand behavior:

I’ve provided a link covering debugging which you may find helpful.
