Pending orders

[GibbsB613]

else if (State == State.Configure)
{
SetProfitTarget(@"", CalculationMode.Pips, 250);
SetStopLoss("", CalculationMode.Pips, 50, false);
}

Why would this cause for pending orders before a position is opened?

Thanks!!

Hello GibbsB613,

Thanks for your post.

These methods would not cause orders before an entry order is filled. The methods detect when an entry order is filled and then immediately submit a protective stoploss and a profit target, OCO tied. For them to work an entry order must be filled.

Please feel free to write into PlatformSupport[at]Ninjatrader[dot]com with your strategy code attached and we can take a quick look to see if there is something else that would generate a pending order. If you write in please mark the e-mail Atten:Paul and a link to this thread.
