calculate on first instrument and execute on second instrument

[kantkant2]

Hi, I have an issue for a simple test code.
I want to generate signal on first instrument and anter trade on second of this code:

protected override void Initialize()
{
CalculateOnBarClose = true;
Add("ES ##-##", PeriodType.Minute, 20);
}
protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{

if (BarsInProgress == 0)
return;

//if this condition is verified
if (CrossBelow(SMA(1), Bollinger(2, 14).Lower, 1)
{
//enter long on second instrument
}

thanks again!

kantkant2, you would then need to use the advanced overload for EnterLong() that would let you specify the BarsInProgress you want to submit when your signal is seen.

So try something like this please -

EnterLong(1, DefaultQuantity, "LongBIP1")

thanks Bertrand, now the entry logic works but the exits are incorrect....
I don't understand the "fromentrysignal" concept...
I have trie with:
ExitLong(1, DefaultQuantity, "LongBIP1", "");

but work wrong...

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

I would suggest trying this changed call instead -

ExitLong(1, DefaultQuantity, "ExitLongBIP1", "LongBIP1");

With the fromEntrySignal you can tie the qty to a specific entry you've done. The first string here would be your exit signal name then, thus you would have to switch them around like above.

now the backtest works fine!
Today I have enabled the strategy on live account...
the strategy run on fdax future, the orders are sent on cfd dax to fxcm... the position was open and close correctly, but I note a "PendingSubmit" order on orders list, referred to exit signal....what does it mean??
thanks

Hello kantkant2,

It looks like there is an order that is stuck. Is this order on your live account? If so, you may want to call your broker to make sure there is not an order.

After you have verified that you may repair your database to remove the order from NinjaTrader.

To repair your database please go to Tools -> Options -> Data -> and click Repair DB.
If this does not remove the order then the order will be removed when your broker resets their servers.

Note that if the order was submitted to the Sim101 account, you may just want to reset the Sim101 account to remove the order.

To reset the Sim101 account please go to Tools -> Options -> Simulator tab -> and click Reset.

Happy to be of further assistance.

on broker platform I don't see any order.... now after clicking repair db button it seems disappeared... but I don't know why this issue become...
thanks again ninja support!
