Change Entry Price

[hawkfx]

Hello.

I am very new to ninjatrader and ninjascript, I want to automate an strategy, it is a fast scalper, I set EnterShortStop and EnterLongStop few Ticks behind Bid/Ask price, but sometimes if price goes away, I need to change the entry price how can I achive that? I have to cancel the order and open another?


Ohter question, the SetStopLoss is only for Long and Short orders? Can't be set to LongStop and ShortStop?

I am trying to achive what I do on mql

Thanks

Hello hawkfx,

Welcome to NinjaTrader. If you want to change price only, you do not need to cancel and resubmit separately. If everything is the same (direction, quantity, order type, signal name) except for price, then you just resubmit with the new price and the order is modified.

SetStopLoss can be used to protect long and short positions. It will automatically place the right order depending on the direction of the trade. There are also dedicated methods for ExitLongStop() and ExitShortStop() that provide for more order control.

I have another question, how can I iterate all pending orders I have working?

I mean I want to send X amount of longstop or shortstop orders (different or same prices, but different signal name).

So I want to do it something like this:

for(i = 0; i < totalpending; i++) {
//get entry price, signal name, etc
}

how can I do it?

How do I start a new thread. Is the only way to raise a question through replying to a new thread?

hawkfx,

We do not support accessing an orders collection directly. To access values about pending orders, you have to work with IOrder objects and advanced framework. You can see here for properties you can expose about orders:

This sample can help get you started working with these advanced strategy items:
