Closed Orders

[GibbsB613]

How can I identify when an position has been closed and generate an email? Can I search through positions by date? I want to do all of this through Ninjascript.

Thanks!!

Hello GibbsB613,

Thanks for writing in to our Support team.

You will need to include a position check in the OnPositionUpdate() method and override it using a specific syntax which I will include in my code sample in this post. You then would need to call SendMail() to send an email after this condition has been met.

For example:

protected override void OnPositionUpdate(Cbi.Position position, double averagePrice, int quantity, Cbi.MarketPosition marketPosition)
{
if (position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Flat)
{
SendMail([email protected], "NinjaTrader Alert", "You are now flat");
}
}

To search through positions by date, you would need to work with TradeCollection objects since you want to look at historical positions that have already been closed. If you wanted to look through your open positions, you can refer to the Positions link at the end of this post for more information on how to loop through your open positions. For example:

protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
foreach (Trade myTrade in SystemPerformance.AllTrades)
Print(myTrade.Entry.Time.Date.ToString());
}

Here is more information on the methods/objects that I used in these examples:

SendMail() - http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...s/sendmail.htm

TradeCollection - http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...collection.htm

Please let me know if I may be of any further assistance.
