Strategy behavior when stopped

[GaryAlbers]

I use a strategy to assist in my order submission. I also sometimes use the DOM to submit orders for the same instrument. I understand that this is not recommended, but it is necessary for my approach at this time.
I know that the strategy position will get out of sync from the actual account position.
In order to get back in sync with the account position, I coded my strategy to call the CloseStrategy() method.
To my surprise, as the strategy was stopping, it submitted and order, presumably to flatten it's position.

I would like to turn this behavior off. What is the setting?

Thanks,

Hello Gary,

Thank you for your post.

You can override the CloseStrategy() method as listed in the Help Guide: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...sestrategy.htm

Another option or even in addition to the above would be to use the PositionAccount to check the actual position of the strategy in your conditions: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...ionaccount.htm

If I override the CloseStrategy() method so that no closing orders are submitted how do I force the strategy to be disabled?

Hello Gary,

Thank you for your response.

To disable the strategy without calling CloseStrategy logic or the need to override it, set the state of the object (strategy) to terminated. Take a look at the example at the following link: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...s/setstate.htm
