How to get order status

[NinjaTrader_Joydeep]

Hello vitaliys,
You have to code your own logic while using a Exit() order just like what you have coded while entering an position using the Enter() methods.

Both SetStopLoss and ExitLongStop() will submit a stop market orders.

Also you cannot use the Set() and the Exit methods simultaneously as the internal order handling rules will reject the orders.

SetStopLoss("Order1", CalculationMode.Ticks, slSize, false);

The above SetStopLoss overload will calculate the stop price based on the average price of the current position. So let suppose you are trading ES, and you got a long filled at 1400, if slSize is 4 then your stop will be placed at 1399. On the second trade, if the entry order is filled at say 1410 then the stop will be placed at 1409. If you want to change the stop loss size then you have to reassign the Set() order again.

Yes, Exit codes can be used to exit a trade (either target or stop). Exit codes are more like Entry() codes and you have to enter your own logic unlike Set() orders which are internally handled by NinjaTrader.

What you will use (Set or Exit methods) really depends on how you want to design your strategy.

Thanks a lot for your help ! I was trying to use Strategy Analyzer and couldn't specify range for pre-defined parameters in drop down box. Is it possible to set it to go through the drop down menus in addition to normal integer values ?

I'm trying to optimize the strategy

Hello vitaliys,
Unfortunately optimizing the drop down parameters like an enum or boolean values is not possible. As a workaround you can modify your code and set integer values for it and then optimize it.

For example if your code has a boolean like

if (true)
{
   //do something
}
else 
{
  do something
}

Change it to
in variable

int myBoolInt = 0;

and test it as

if (myBoolInt == 0)
{
   //do something
}
else if (myBoolInt == 1)
{
   do something
}

Please let me know if I can assist you any further.
