How to cancel buy order if limited price is jumped

[ikerbar]

I would like how to compile this condition:

If actual ask price is bigger than my actual limited buy order price (because it has been a big volatility in the market and the order has not been filled) close long order.

Thank you very much.

Hello ikerbar,

Thank you for your post.

You will need to IOrder objects for the orders so that you can call CancelOrder() to cancel the order based on your condition.

For information on CancelOrder() please visit the following link: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...ancelorder.htm

For information on IOrder objects please visit the following link: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...nt7/iorder.htm

Then using GetCurrentAsk() you can check the current ask value against the price of the IOrder object:

			if(GetCurrentAsk(0) >= myOrder.LimitPrice)
			{
				CancelOrder(myOrder);
			}

For information on GetCurrentAsk() please visit the following link: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...currentask.htm

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.

I have a problem, i dont know how to compile (write the exact word) in order to cancel my running order. The words in red give me compiling errors.

My compilation for a short order:

{
// Condition set 1
if (ToTime(DateTime.Now) >= ToTime ( 10, 29, 57) && ToTime(DateTime.Now) <= ToTime ( 10, 29, 58))
{
EnterShortStopLimit( 1, GetCurrentBid() - 11 * TickSize, GetCurrentBid() - 5 * TickSize, "corto")
}
// Condition set 2 "if the price currentbid jump my limitprice and the order has not been filled, cancel the order"
if (ToTime(DateTime.Now) >= ToTime ( 10, 29, 59) && GetCurrentBid() < ShortStopLimit.LimitPrice && OrderStatus is not Working)
{
CancelOrder(ShortStopLimit);
}
}

Hello ikerbar,

Thank you for your post.

Below you will find how to properly add an IOrder object and call that IOrder object to cancel an order:

[B]#region Variables		
        private IOrder myOrder;
        #endregion[/B]
		
		protected override void OnBarUpdate()
		{
// Condition set 1
if (ToTime(DateTime.Now) >= ToTime ( 10, 29, 57) && ToTime(DateTime.Now) <= ToTime ( 10, 29, 58))
{
[B]myOrder =[/B] EnterShortStopLimit( 1, GetCurrentBid() - 11 * TickSize, GetCurrentBid() - 5 * TickSize, "corto");
}
// Condition set 2 "if the price currentbid jump my limitprice and the order has not been filled, cancel the order"
if (ToTime(DateTime.Now) >= ToTime ( 10, 29, 59) && ...)
{
[B]CancelOrder(myOrder);[/B]
}

I recommend reviewing the information on IOrder at the following link: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...nt7/iorder.htm

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.

Thank you very much,

CancelOrder (myOrder)

Thanks in advance

Hello ikerbar,

Thank you for your response.

That is the correct way to check if the order has not filled.

Hi again,
after using my programed strategy, the order didnt cancel when it was not filled. What am i missing? Thanx in advance.

Hello ikerbar,

Thank you for your post.

In your code I do not see a check for null on the IOrder object before calling it's order state. Try adding the following:

if ([B]myOrder1 != null[/B] && (ToTime(DateTime.Now) >= ToTime ( 16, 29, 59)) && (GetCurrentBid() < myOrder1.LimitPrice) && (myOrder1.OrderState != OrderState.Filled))
{
CancelOrder(myOrder1);
[B]myOrder1 = null;[/B]
}

Hello ikerbar,

Thank you for your response.

Please attach your strategy to your response so I may investigate this matter further. You can find your strategy by going to the following directory on your PC: (My) Documents\NinjaTrader 7\bin\Custom\Strategy > it will be a .cs file.

Sorry i found the error by myself. I forgot to put the &&
Thank you very much for your help!!

Good evening Patrick,
i have done a simulated trade to check it, but i have another problem. The trailing stop doesnt work. The trailing stop continue all the time in the first stop price and doesnt follow the price move with the profit.

[NinjaTrader_PatrickH]

Hello ikerbar,

Thank you for your response.

What method is used for your trailing stop? Are you using SetTrailStop()? Can you provide the code used for the trailing stop?

I look forward to your response.
