Long/short strategy with cancel order and trail stop

[MrTicks]

Would love some help with this strategy if someone could take a look!

I copied the NT sample on order update strategy template, OnOrderUpdate() method, to attempt the following:

1. Enter long if Close[1] > Open[1]
or
Enter short if Close[1] < Open[1]

2. Set initial stop loss to n ticks.

3. Cancel pending order if not filled after n bars.

4. If n ticks in profit then set stop loss to low/high of Open[1].

I can get this to happen once! Then the strategy seems to fall down and does not initiate any other orders. So it will submit an order with stop but then if it's not filled it cancels, then stops processing further signals.

If someone could point out what is wrong with it I would really appreciate it or point me in the direction of a sample strat with long and short entries in it that would achieve the above.


Thanks!

MrTicks, please ensure the IOrder object is reset to null after the trade is completed - otherwise the entry condition you've got coding in would not trigger.

Thanks Bertrand, suspected something like that but have no idea where to put that as there are already a few resets in the strat that I copied. Think I'll just find another one to copy, might be easier instead of debugging, have spent too long on it already.
