Profit Target !!

[Italy]

Hello,
Do Not activate the profit Target!! Why?
Code:
# region OrderRouting
private void ManagerOrder ()
{
if (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Long)

{
SetProfitTarget ("", CalculationMode.Price, Position.AvgPrice+ ATR (14) 0]));// does not work
}
}
# endregion

protected override void OnBarUpdate ()
{
ManagerOrder ();

if (Position.MarketPosition! = MarketPosition.Flat) return;

if (Low [0] <Low [1] & & Low [1] <Low [2])
EnterLongStop (10, High [0], "EntryLong");
SetStopLoss (CalculationMode.Price (Low [0]);
SetProfitTarget ("Profit", CalculationMode.Price (Close [0] + ATR (14) [0 ])));
}

Ciao
Roberto

Roberto, your signal namings are unfortunately off - please try 'EnterLong' as well as 'FromEntrySignal' parameter in your first SetProfitTarget call - to debug any strategy order submission issue, TraceOrders are very helpgul - http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...ead.php?t=3627

Hello Bertrand,
The horizontal lines to indicate the level of profit is correct. In the Output of window the calculation is correct for the Profit, but profit is not activated. Why?
The code is more detailed:

TraceOrders = true;

# region OrderRouting
private void ManagerOrder ()
{
if (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Long)

{
SetProfitTarget ("", CalculationMode.Price, Position.AvgPrice + ATR (14) 0 ]));// Does not work
DrawText("tag3","ProfitLONG",0,Position.AvgPrice+A TR(14)[0]),Color.Green); OK
DrawHorizontalLine("tag4",Position.AvgPrice+ATR(14 )[0]),Color.Blue); OK
}
}
# endregion

protected override void OnBarUpdate ()
{
ManagerOrder ();

if (Position.MarketPosition! = MarketPosition.Flat) return;

if (Low [0] <Low [1] & & Low [1] <Low [2])
EnterLongStop (10, High [0], "EntryLong");// It 'requires a stop order
SetStopLoss (CalculationMode.Price (Low [0]);
SetProfitTarget ("Profit", CalculationMode.Price (Close [0] + ATR (14) [0 ])));
Print(Time[0]+ " Valeu EntryLONG " + (High[0]));

}

Italy, you named your entry "EnterLong", please ensure the profit target picks up this name in it's FromEntrySignal parameter.

I use the simulated data feed and create the condition for entry Long.
In the chart the lines(Stop and Profit) are drawn correctly.
In the OutPut of window the price of profit is correctly, but pratically there is not the closing Profit when the price is reached.....is a mystery!!

Roberto, did you follow through on testing out the changes I outlined with the signal naming in your code? Would that change the outcome you see?

[Italy]

sorry but I do not know what to do, trying to explain in simple way or with an example.
Thanks.
Roberto

Roberto, please try this call instead then in your code -

SetProfitTarget ("EnterLong", CalculationMode.Price, Position.AvgPrice + ATR (14) 0 ]));

Thanks Bertrand
Everything Ok.
