[DealI]

i set
EntriesPerDirection = 2;
EntryHandling = EntryHandling.AllEntries;

but when there are more than 2 enteries occurs it close the entry its fine but why not running the script on further upcoming bars.?????

it running fine if number of entries are 2 or less than 2.. but when it exceed 2 its close the entry but not running the program on upcoming bars

by using trace order i got this

Ignored PlaceOrder() method at 03/08/2012 01:15:00 AM: Action=Buy OrderType=Market Quantity=1 LimitPrice=0 StopPrice=0 SignalName='|' FromEntrySignal='' Reason='Exceeded entry signals limit based on EntryHandling and EntriesPerDirection properties'

Hello DealI,

The reason why your strategy is not running anymore on upcoming bars is because there is an error that happened inside of your Strategy. The "Object reference not set to an instance of an object." is the error that you are getting that is causing your Strategy cancel all of your orders and disable your strategy.

If your strategy is running fine except when you have more than 2 orders then you may want to take a look at the code that you are using when you have more than 2 orders that you are checking for.

If you would like to post a snippet of your code that you are calling we can try to see if there is anything that we can help you point towards.

hear is my program

override void Initialize()
EntriesPerDirection = 2;
EntryHandling = EntryHandling.AllEntries;
CalculateOnBarClose = true;
----
void OnBarUpdate()

if(refhigh <= High[0])
refhigh = (double) High[0];

if(GetCurrentBid() <= refhigh-3 && Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Flat )
entryOrder = EnterLong(
lastboughtprice = entryOrder.AvgFillPrice;

if(GetCurrentBid() <= lastboughtprice-2 && Position.MarketPosition != MarketPosition.Flat)
entryOrder = EnterLong(
lastboughtprice = entryOrder.AvgFillPrice;

if( GetCurrentBid() >= Position.AvgPrice )
exitOrder = ExitLong();
refhigh=0;

Hello DealI,

Thanks for the snippets.

My guess would be that it would have to do with your entryOrder. You may want to add a check for null inside of your entry conditions for entryOrder.

Hello DealI,

Thanks for your reply.

May I have your complete script to test with on my end?

To export your script do the following:

1. Click File -> Utilities -> Export NinjaScript
2. Enter a unique name for the file in the value for 'File name:'
3. Select the strategy from the objects list on the left -> click the right facing arrow ">" to add the strategy to the export
4. Click the 'Export' button -> click 'yes' to add any referenced indicators to the export -> click OK to clear the export location message

By default your exported file will be in the following location:

• (My) Documents/NinjaTrader 7/bin/Custom/ExportNinjaScript/<export_file_name.zip>

Below is a link to the help guide on Exporting NinjaScripts.

Once your export has been created you can either post the script here, or if you would like to keep the script private, send this in an email to support[at]ninjatrader[dot]com with Attn: Chelsea #861844 in the body of the email.
