How to Enter to an specific price

[[email protected]]

Hello,

I have an strategy that has to submit a short order when there is a pullback bar after the price crossed a support line, the entry price that I'm trying to set is 2 ticks bellow Low[0] for the pullback bar but the order is being filled in a price above what I set.

I'm ussing EnterShortLimit for entry order, ExitShortStopMarket for stop order and ExitShortLimit for profit order.

I tried EnterShortStopLimit but I got and error "sell stop or sell stop limit orders can't be placed above the market affected order"

Could you recommend how I can implement this?

Best regards,

Victor

if you want to use an EnterShortStopLimit order, your Stop Price must be below the market price at the time you place the order, and the Limit Price at which you want a fill must be at or below the Stop Price that you want to use. The rules of the order structure must be followed.

Hello, thanks for your note.

Short stop limit orders need to be placed below the market price. If you need a short order above the market, use a sell limit or a sell MIT order.

Best regards.

Thanks koganam and ChrisL, I'm new to ninjatrader and I'm looking for the best command to put my order, for example I have a reversal bar (Low:2853.50, Open:2854.25, Close:2855.25, High:2856.25) and I want to set a short order 2 ticks bellow this bar so I set limit price of 2853.25 ...but the order got filled at 2855 using EnterShortLimit. Is there a way to implement this? best regards.

Hello [email protected],

Sell Limit orders placed below the market will fill at the market price since they fill at the limit price or better. You could use EnterShortMIT() to place a market If touched order, which will have NinjaTrader submit a market order to sell at that price once the price touches.

Hello NinjaTrader_Jim,

I changed my script to make EnterShortMIT() but the order is still filled bellow (2855.25) the price I set. (2853.25). My current bar is (Low:2853.50, Open:2854.25, Close:2855.25, High:2856.25).

Hello [email protected],

You could use a condition that checks if Close == 2853.25 and then submit a market order with EnterShort() to achieve the result you are looking for. MIT does have some behaviors similar to limit orders which would be why the order submitted and filled at the better price. Note that you will receive slippage when using market order and the order may not fill at that exact price.

We look forward to being of further assistance.
