Hello Bill,

Thanks for your post.

if (Performance.AllTrades.Count > 1)
Print("Entry Price: "+Performance.AllTrades[Performance.AllTrades.Count-1].Entry.Price+
"\r\nExit Price: "+Performance.AllTrades[Performance.AllTrades.Count-1].Exit.Price+
"\r\nGross P&L: "+Performance.AllTrades[Performance.AllTrades.Count-1].ProfitCurrency+
"\r\nTotal P&L: "+(Performance.AllTrades.TradesPerformance.GrossProfit+Performance.AllTrades.TradesPerformance.GrossLoss));

Hi Chelsea,
How come it show 25 profit in the following. Does it calculate it in $s ???

Entry Price: 4179.75
Exit Price: 4181
Gross P&L: 25
Total P&L: 10450

Hi billsingh,

Yes, that should be the profit in currency.

Were you looking for points or percent?

Performance.AllTrades[Performance.AllTrades.Count-1].ProfitPoints

or

Performance.AllTrades[Performance.AllTrades.Count-1].ProfitPercent

Thanks Chelsea, one more question

I am thinking of using the ATM with this. all the long and short positions has names like long1, long2 and short1 and short2. but if I want to close the all the positions at any given time can I use Exitlong("","") or Exitshort("","") ??? will it work ????

Hi billsingh,

If you plan to use an Atm Strategy in your NinjaScript Strategy, you can no longer use EnterLong and ExitLong methods.

Instead you will have to start using AtmStrategy methods such as AtmStrategyCreate().

Below is a link to the help guide on AtmStrategy methods in a NinjaScript Strategy.

What about if I do the following code, will it work without createing ATMmethods() etc.... and later I want to check on each bar if I should close the position or not.

protected override void Initialize()
{
SetProfitTarget("Entry2", CalculationMode.Ticks, 4);
SetTrailStop("Entry1", CalculationMode.Ticks, 6, false);


CalculateOnBarClose = true;
}

Here is the whole code. I like it to Entry2 only take 4 tick profit and Entry1 to do the training stop. If they are not met or position go backwards before these condition then I exit by exitlong(). will this work ????

protected override void Initialize()
{
SetProfitTarget("Entry2", CalculationMode.Ticks, 4);
SetTrailStop("Entry1", CalculationMode.Ticks, 6, false);
CalculateOnBarClose = true;
}


protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{

if (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Flat

EnterLong(1, "Entry1");
EnterLong(1, "Entry2");

// Condition set 2
if ( Condition)

ExitLong("", "");

}

Hi billsingh,

That is correct.

An exit order with no signal name will exit all orders including entries that used a signal name.

[billsingh]

But for some reason this code is not working.

[billsingh]

It never execute entry2.

Hi billsingh,

I have created an example script to demonstrate that an exit with no signal name will indeed exit entry orders that are using signal names.

Let me know if this script does not exit both entry orders on your end.

Hi billsingh,

If the second entry is not being submitted then your Entries per direction is set to 1 in the Strategy Parameters.

It never execute entry2.

What is your EntriesPerDirection value set at?
