Strategy using PositionAccount vs Strategy Position

[DTSSTS]

Where as Strategy looks for a strategy position to verify flat prior to enter a trade that conditions have triggered

I want to look at the Trading Account Position prior to entering a trade

THIS WILL ALLOW manual exits, then the Strategy knows that PositionAccount is flat and the next trigger can be triggered if conditions are met

i am using

StartBehavior = StartBehavior.AdoptAccountPosition;

IsAdoptAccountPositionAware = true;

Thanks

Hello DTSSTS,

Thanks for your post.

Regarding, "I want to look at the Trading Account Position prior to entering a trade", you would use PositionAccount: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...ionaccount.htm

i added all these items with no errors but the strategy still trade on Strat position and NOT PositionAccount

Print("The average entry price is " + PositionAccount.AveragePrice);
Print(PositionAccount.Quantity);
// protected override void OnBarUpdate()
//{
// Raise stop loss to breakeven when there is at least 30 ticks in profit

if (Close[0] >= PositionAccount.AveragePrice + 30 * TickSize)
ExitLongStopMarket(PositionAccount.Quantity, PositionAccount.AveragePrice);
if (Close[0] <= PositionAccount.AveragePrice - 30 * TickSize)
ExitShortStopMarket(PositionAccount.Quantity, PositionAccount.AveragePrice);
if (PositionAccount.MarketPosition != MarketPosition.Flat)
Print("Open PnL: " + PositionAccount.GetUnrealizedProfitLoss(Performanc eUnit.Points, Close[0]));
if (PositionAccount.MarketPosition != MarketPosition.Flat)
Print("Open PnL: " + PositionAccount.GetUnrealizedProfitLoss(Performanc eUnit.Points, Close[0]));
// Prints out the current market position
Print(PositionAccount.MarketPosition.ToString() + " " + PositionAccount.Quantity.ToString());

WHEN TESTING strategy creates position, but when manually exit position Strategy still shows position and we are no longer insync

My issue may be in this statment

else if (AtmStrategyId[Direction].Length > 0 && GetAtmStrategyMarketPosition(AtmStrategyId[Direction]) == Cbi.MarketPosition.Flat)
AtmStrategyId[Direction] = string.Empty;

Hello DTSSTS,

Thanks for your replies.

Can you provide an overall context of what you are trying to do?

Hello DTSSTS,

Thanks for your reply.

I may not be fully understanding what you are trying to do however:

The start behavior only effects when the strategy is started for the first time and would only impact the transition from historical to live data. Managed approach enter/exit methods follow the strategy position. AdoptAccountPosition would just inherit the account position, it does not tell the strategy to follow the account position, and does not support new manual orders.

You may want to add chart "buttons" to place manual orders through the strategy so that these effect the strategy position.

Note: The atm strategy position would be unrelated to the strategy position because it is a unique strategy, and using Enter/Exit Managed Approach methods would affect the strategy that is calling those methods, not the atm.

Chart buttons meaning a custom indicator with buttons on the chart. in the code some where the buttons are directed at the strategy?

[NinjaTrader_PaulH]

Hello DTSSTS,

Thanks for your reply.

No, buttons that your strategy would place on the chart.

so i can manually close position with these buttons

does the position have to be opened from an open chart or can they be from the control panel Strategies tab

I see this file is 2015 I ask all about this over and over to manually close strategy trades over 2 years ago, never say this before

Hello DTSSTS,

Thanks for your reply.

The buttons can be programmed to enter or exit trades within the context of the strategy. This means the strategy position and its account position would be in sync (assuming the entries were made in the context of the strategy).

The buttons would only work on a chart, they would not work if the strategy was created from the strategies tab.

OK installed buttons, but i do not find anything in Indicator list about this, What is the Name and Where find
Thanks

Hello DTSSTS,

Thanks for your reply.

If you installed the download from the forums link I provided called LongShortToolbarbutton, it will be found in the strategies folder of the Ninjascript editor as it is a strategy.
