setstoploss handling

[tonynt]

Hello,

I cant find a solution or reply in the forum for working with setstoploss in a script-strategy in onExecution or onOrderupdate.

I want to change the value of a variable if trade was stopped out with setstoploss.

Thank you
Tony

Hello tonynt,

Thank you for writing in.

I would suggest taking a look at this particular reference sample on our support forum showing how you can reference SetStopLoss(): http://ninjatrader.com/support/forum...ead.php?t=5790

You will see that in OnOrderUpdate() in the reference sample above, you'll want to check if the IOrder object's name is "Stop loss". This would be the same in OnExecution().

In your particular example, you want to set a variable if the order is stopped out by your stop loss.

So:

protected override void OnExecution(IExecution execution)
{
     // when the stop loss is filled, set variable
     if (execution.Order != null && execution.Order.Name == "Stop loss" && execution.Order.OrderState == OrderState.Filled)
          // set variable
}

Hello Zachary,

thank you for your reply.

But how to refer to a certain position "... from entry name..." or something like this?

Thanks
Tony

Hello tonynt,

Please take a look at the various properties that can be accessed from an IOrder object: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...t7/?iorder.htm

You will want to use the FromEntrySignal property.
