Cancel all strategy orders in Unmanaged approach

[boaza]

Using the Unmanaged order approach, is there a single command to cancel all outstanding orders of a specific strategy?

(I'm aware that I can keep a list of all outstanding orders and enumerate those).

Thanks,
Boaz

Hello Boaz,

Thank you for your post.

There is no supported method for this, however you can use -

this.CancelAllOrders(bool entries, bool exits);

This will cancel all orders for the specific strategy that it is called in, and you can choose to do only entries, exits or both.

Please note that this method is unsupported and do not have any documentation on the subject.

Let me know if I can be of further assistance.

This is interesting. No documentation/support? I've used the unmanaged approach exclusively. How does NT know that an order is an entry or an exit in the unmanaged framework?

cgeorgan,

NinjaTrader is smart enough to track your strategies positions and the type of orders being placed with the Unmanaged to determine if it is an entry or exit

Correct, this is not a supported item with NinjaTrader and as such do not have documentation on it.

Do I understand well, that:
Buy + SellShort - types of orders mean ENTRY
and
Sell + BuyToCover - types of ordes mean EXIT ?

That is, how the NinjaTrader resolves difference between intended entry/exit order?

misova,

These are just labels for your orders. Placing a BuyToCover in a flat position could put you in a position as well.

The difference here is that some brokers require orders with the correct tags. You would explicitly say exit the long but don't go short.

Cal,

Is this a similar undocumented method which can be called to flat the position besides closing all open orders?
