Question about breakeven

[Kovalev]

Hello, please help me, I want to add a breakeven function if the price has passed a certain number of ticks
Stops and takest I did that way

protected override void OnExecution(IExecution execution)
{
/* We advise monitoring OnExecution to trigger submission of stop/target orders instead of OnOrderUpdate() since OnExecution() is called after OnOrderUpdate()
which ensures your strategy has received the execution which is used for internal signal tracking. */
if (entryOrder != null && entryOrder == execution.Order)
{
if (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Long)
{
// Stop-Loss order ticks below our entry price
stopOrder = ExitLongStop(0, true, execution.Order.Filled, execution.Order.AvgFillPrice - 4 * TickSize, "MyLongStop", "Long");

// Target order ticks above our entry price
targetOrder = ExitLongLimit(0, true, execution.Order.Filled, execution.Order.AvgFillPrice + 8 * TickSize, "MyTarget", "Long");

// Resets the entryOrder object to null after the order has been filled
if (execution.Order.OrderState != OrderState.PartFilled)
{
entryOrder = null;
}
}
if (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Short)
{
// Stop-Loss order ticks below our entry price
stopOrder = ExitShortStop(0, true, execution.Order.Filled, execution.Order.AvgFillPrice + 4 * TickSize, "MyShortStop", "Short");

// Target order ticks above our entry price
targetOrder = ExitShortLimit(0, true, execution.Order.Filled, execution.Order.AvgFillPrice - 8 * TickSize, "MyTarget", "Short");

// Resets the entryOrder object to null after the order has been filled
if (execution.Order.OrderState != OrderState.PartFilled)
{
entryOrder = null;
}
}
}

But I do not know how to call the current price to calculate the required number of ticks to move the stop to +

Hello Kovalev,
Thanks for your post.

Are you simply trying to find the current price of the instrument?

Hello, NinjaTrader_JoshG, yes, and I also wanted to know - can I prescribe a condition for the movement of stop loss in "On execution"?

[NinjaTrader_JoshG]

Kovalev,

Close[0] will be the latest price.

You can also include a condition for your stop loss movement inside OnExecution. Whether that is the best place to use that logic will depend on your specific condition.

NinjaTrader_JoshG, but if i use CalculateOnBarClose = true; ?

[Kovalev]

Or perhaps another option is to calculate relative to the entry point
if (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Long && execution.Order.AvgFillPrice + 9 * TickSize)

Hello Kovalev,

Yes, Close[0] would be the last close price when using CalculateOnBarClose = true. The building bar is not being accounted for when using CalculateOnBarClose = true.

It is generally suggested to use the average fill price rather than the close as that is absolute once the order fills where as the close may be different than the end fill price. We have a sample that demonstrates using the fill price to submit targets here: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...and_onexec.htm

I look forward to being of further assistance.
