Hello,
Thank you for your post.
This is posible by using Position.MarketPosition and Position.GetProfitLoss

I have provided an example of this below.

if(Position.MarketPosition != MarketPosition.Flat && Position.GetProfitLoss(Close[0], Performance.Currency) > N )//N is variable amount set to desired profit amount
{
    if(Positiion.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Long
    {
         ExitLong();
    }
    if(Positiion.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Long
    {
         ExitShort();
    }
}

For more information on Position.MarketPosition and Position.GetProfitLoss see the following link, http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...7/position.htm

If we can be of any other assistance please let us know.

When i trying to compile this code

	if(Position.GetProfitLoss(Close[0], Performance.Currency) > 0){
					  ExitLong();
				}

I have error that Performance.Currency is not available (code CS1061)

(checking currency trade position)

I have error that Performance.Currency is not available (code CS1061)

Are you on NT8? If you are, `Performance` has been replaced by SystemPerformance.

[NinjaTrader_CodyB]

Hello,
If you are on NinjaTrader 8 you would replace it in the Strategy Code with SystemPerformance.Currency.

If this is in NinjaTrader 7 please make sure you are entering this with a strategy. This code would not be documented with an Indicator.

i added

			Add(PeriodType.Minute, 180);
			Add(PeriodType.Minute, 60);

if this code

double ATRPeriod = ATR(20)[1];
double ATRPeriod = ATR(20)[2];

generate ATR from 3h and 1h ?

[baryshnikov]

does anybody know about ATR?

[NinjaTrader_CodyB]

Hello,
I apologize on the delay for this response.
This would not generate this from the 3 hour and 1 hour.
You would to use a different constructor overload for the ATR:

double ATRPeriod = ATR(BarsArray[1], 20)[0]
double ATRPeriod = ATR(BarsArray[2], 20)[0]

For more information on the constructor overloads for the ATR please see the following link, http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG..._range_atr.htm
The BarsArray[] collection calls the information from the from the selected added data series. BarsArray[1] will grab data from the 3 hour and BarsArray[2] will get it from the 1 hour. If you do not add in the BarsArray it will plot the data based off of the primary data series of the chart.

hello my dear friend! i have 2 new questions


1. I need to check this

if current trade was opened on 1 and more Bars ago && currents trade profit > 0 then ...

is this code true

if (BarsSinceEntry () > 1 
           && Position.GetProfitLoss(Close[0], PerformanceUnit.Currency) > 0
               )

2. How to check this

// i must to checking did i have any trade in current bar with lose profit (<0)

[NinjaTrader_CodyB]

Hello,
The code you have for number 1 is correct.
For number 2you could do the following:

if(BarsSinceEntry() == 0
   && Position.GetProfitLoss(Close[0], PerformanceUnit.Currency) < 0

If we can be of any other assistance please let us know.

Hello!

1. Can i get time when current position was opened? or i must saving time when make any order?

2. I need to compare 2 times. if current time > order time 100 min then...
how i can compare 2 times in min format?

[NinjaTrader_CodyB]

Hello,
You can use GetBar to get the bar at the time of your entry and then compare that time + 100 minutes and compare it to the current time.

I have provided an example of how you can accomplish this.

#region Variables
private int timeBar = 0;

protected overrid voide OnBarUpdate()

if(SMA(20)[0] > SMA(5)[0]) //This is just an example condition of a condition for entry
{
	EnterLong();
	timeBar = GetBar(Time[0]);// this Gets the bar of the current time and assigns it to         the int timeBar
}				
if(Time[0] >= Time[CurrentBar - timeBar].AddMinutes(100));// This gets the current time and then compares it to the Time of the Time at timeBar and adds 100 minutes to it.
{
	ExitLong();
}
