limit price (bid ask) in a strategy

[DenisF]

Hallo, I have build a strategy with NT Wizard and I prefer insert a limit order for long entry with "getcurrentbid(0)" and not a "market order" (I trade emini midcap and spread, sometime, is too big). For close a long position I had use "exit long position" and for a short position I had use "Enter short position by a limit order" and in limit price "Get Current Ask()". Strategy made correctly a long order but not filled a short order. How is the problem?
Thank you

Hello DenisF,

Thanks for your inquiry.

To troubleshoot the strategy and understand why an order submission did not occur, debugging steps will have to be taken.

I would suggest to print the price that you are submitting the order at along side your order methods, and then to print the variables used for your entry/exit conditions in the actions field of an empty condition set.

I have created a video describing how you can add prints to a strategy in the Strategy Builder to debug the NinjaScript code.

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.

Thank you Jim. In NT Wizard I can see "reverse order" (i can use it without "exit long" and entry short at market"). How can I insert a commnad "reverse order" in code of strategy create with wizard?
Thanks

Hello DenisF,

I am not aware of a "Reverse Order" method available in the Strategy Builder or the Strategy Wizard. If you would like to reverse your position, you will need to submit an entry order in the opposite direction of the position that you are in without calling an exit method.

For example, calling EnterLong() when you are in a short position or calling EnterShort() while in a long position. The SampleMACrossover strategy can be used as an example.

If the information above does not resolve your inquiry, could you provide a screenshot to clarify the matter for me?
