Basics: Position Reversing

[Schubert]

Hello,

how do i prevent the ninja trader from reversing an open position?

Once in the market i want the position either to hit the stop or the target.

Is there a way to solve this basic problem with the strategy wizard?

thanks in advance

Hello Schubert,

Welcome to the NinjaTrader Support Forums.

That will depend on what order entry method(s) you are using. If you are using the Managed Approach and use the Enter() method for example, when you are "long" then an Enter() method is called to go "short" NinjaTrader will close out of the "long" position and enter a "short" position.

If you want to setup a stop loss you can use the SetStopLoss() method, and if you wanted to get out of a position without reversing position you can use the Exit() method. You may read the following link for more information on the different Order Methods from our Help Guide.

This is the Problem. :-)

While i am in a long or short position i want the the ninja trader to ignore all other buy oder sell signals.

While i am in a position i just want the ninja trader to wait until the long or short position hits the stop or the target.

Then the ninja trader is allowed to open a new long or short position and follows the approach described above again.

thank your for your help :-)

Just check to make sure you're flat before any execution calls:

if (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Flat)
//execution
