Order not Executing

[elitetradernyc]

Hey guys, I have an issue with my scaleout order not executing. Its on the Sim101 account.

I have a strategy where there is a target, then once Close[0] gets above that target I send an order like:

e=1;
exitlongMACDScaling = ExitLong(e, "exitlongMACDScaling", "enterLongMACD1a");

On the first pass, the order executes, then it resets the target to a higher level. Once the higher level hits, the next pass does not execute. Any idea why? There is a single entry, for say 5 contracts with the order name enterLongMACD1a.

I also have print statements surrounding the above order and they both work fine.

Thanks,
EliteTraderNYC

Hello EliteTraderNYC,

Thank you for your note.

Are you setting exitlongMACDScaling to null when it has filled? If not, please do so and advise if this resolves the matter.

protected override void OnOrderUpdate(IOrder order)
{
    if (exitlongMACDScaling != null && exitlongMACDScaling == order)
    {
        if (order.OrderState == OrderState.Cancelled)
         {
              exitlongMACDScaling = null;
         }
    }
}

Hi sir, unfortunately this did not solve the problem. I also tried Order status filled and that did not work. Any other ideas?

Hello EliteTraderNYC,

Thank you for your response.

Do you have a test script or may I test your full strategy on my end?

So you made a single entry order and are trying to scale out in exits?

[elitetradernyc]

Yes thats right, support staff tells me i need to create different order names for the scaleout sells.

No can do, period in NT7. This is a bug that NT has already acknowledged, but will not fix in the current iteration.

More information is in this single post: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...d.php?p=371491

It is part of two pretty long discussions which show that, in NT7, one cannot scale out without scaling in.
