Can Each New Position have it own unique StopLoss send on Position entered

[DTSSTS]

is it possible in the action area where you submit you order to enter a position to ALSO send a stop related to that unique entry and NOT tied to the over all StopLoss or TrailingStop of the strategy as a whole

Hello DTSSTS,

Thanks for your post.

It sounds like you are using the Strategy Builder. In the Actions field, you can create your own Exit orders that are tied to unique Entry orders by specifying the Entry order's EntrySignal string into the Exit order's FromEntrySignal string. Exit orders can only be submitted when in a position.

The same can be done to have the Set methods in Targets and Stops tied to unique entries rather that being applied to all. (If no FromEntrySignal is specified, the exit is applied to all entries.)

Further reading on how to enter and exit with the Managed Approach can be referenced below. As the Strategy Builder creates Managed Approach code, this information can be very helpful to get a deeper understanding on how a strategy can be made in the builder.

Our Actions page documentation also describes tying exits with FromEntrySignals and Entry Signals.

so from this screen you can have multiple stop loss set to entry signal

Hello DTSSTS,

You need to assign the unique Entry Signal Name in the Set method's From Entry Signal parameter to tie it to a specific entry. Multiple exits cannot be applied to the same entry, so separate entries would have to be used to have separate exits.

I have attached a demonstration video setting this up as an example: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1x9L...w?usp=drivesdk

The Strategy Builder 301 tutorial also provides a complete walk-through for using this tool.

OK with these StopLoss set to entry signals and the TrailingStop and ProfitTarget NOT using entry signal names

When the StopLoss with Entry Signal executes an exit will the TrailingStop and ProfitTarget Still Cancel

[NinjaTrader_Jim]

Hello DTSSTS,

Profit Target and Stop Loss' (including Trailing Stops) pair together with OCO for their designated entry. A unique entry that is tied with unique exits will not cancel the other orders as they are not in an OCO pair.

I may suggest testing any hypothetical questions regarding stop/target handling to observe the behavior first hand.

For example, you can create some strategy logic and create a duplicate strategy in which you can unlock. Adding the following check will have the strategy ignore processing historical data so you can observe the strategy behavior very quickly using the simulated data feed or another data feed on a small time frame. I have attached a demonstration below as well.

if (State == State.Historical) return;

yes i am setting separate entry signal name on the exits

https://gyazo.com/8b764f2083ee00b24c13d2eae430e31e

but if the profit target is NOT cancel, the only way to use these entrysignalstoploss by name would be NOT to have a generic StopLoss and no ProfitTarget that a OCO

So then what happens if you have NO OCO and you have many entrysignalstops and other indicator triggered Exits that are using the same entrysignalexit as well

I was told before as i built the indicator triggered exits if i used entrysignalnames on those the OCO WOULD cancel, and in testing they did afterhours (not simulated datafeed) SO NOW I AM MORE CONFUSED

[NinjaTrader_Jim]

Hello DTSSTS,

The Set methods in Stops and Targets are the only methods in the Managed Approach that will use an OCO ID. You may also observe in the Orders tab of the Control Center which orders are getting an OCO ID as you are testing your strategy.

Signal names are used to tie specific exits to specific entries. OCO is not applied here. An Exit method will close the position and cancel the Target and Stop from the Managed Approach's internal order handling behaviors, but this does not involve OCO.

The internal rules for the Managed Approach can be found in post #2.
