SetProfitTarget and SetStopLoss

[PageNotFound404]

Hi,

Trying to develop 2 time period strategy using build-in functions for profit and loss.

else if (State == State.Configure)

{

AddDataSeries(Data.BarsPeriodType.Tick, 1);

SetProfitTarget("Long Entry", CalculationMode.Currency, MaxProfitLong);

SetProfitTarget("Short Entry", CalculationMode.Currency, MaxProfitShort);

SetStopLoss("Long Entry", CalculationMode.Currency, maxWinLossLong, false);

SetStopLoss("Short Entry", CalculationMode.Currency, maxWinLossShort, false);

}

I'm working with previous hour Hi Low, something like that:

if (Close[0] >= HLTR1530.HighestHigh[0] &&

Close[0] < HLTR1530.HighestHigh[0])

{

if (myEntryOrder == null)

{

EnterLongStopLimit(1, true, 1, HLTR1530.HighestHigh[0] + SizeAboveLong, HLTR1530.HighestHigh[0], "Long Entry");

barNumberOfOrder = CurrentBars[0];

Print("LONG HLTR1530.HighestHigh[0] :: " + HLTR1530.HighestHigh[0] + " TS:: " + Time[0].AddMinutes(BarsPeriod.Value).ToString("hh.mm.ss.ffffff"));

if (myEntryOrder != null )

Print("Order State :: " +myEntryOrder.OrderState.ToString());

}

}
Based on the documentation I'm using this:

protected override void OnOrderUpdate(Order order, double limitPrice, double stopPrice, int quantity, int filled,

double averageFillPrice, OrderState orderState, DateTime time, ErrorCode error, string nativeError)

{

// Assign entryOrder in OnOrderUpdate() to ensure the assignment occurs when expected.

// This is more reliable than assigning Order objects in OnBarUpdate, as the assignment is not gauranteed to be complete if it is referenced immediately after submitting

if ((order.Name == "Long Entry") || (order.Name == "Short Entry"))

myEntryOrder = order;



// Evaluates for all updates to myEntryOrder.

if (myEntryOrder != null && myEntryOrder == order)

{

//Time[0].ToString("hh.mm.ss.ffffff");

Print("OnOrderUpdate:: State :: " + myEntryOrder.OrderState.ToString() + " TS:: " + Time[0].AddMinutes(BarsPeriod.Value).ToString("hh.mm.ss.ffffff"));

// Check if myEntryOrder

if ((myEntryOrder.OrderState == OrderState.Cancelled) ||

(myEntryOrder.OrderState == OrderState.Filled) ||

(myEntryOrder.OrderState == OrderState.Rejected)

)

{

// Reset myEntryOrder back to null

myEntryOrder = null;

}

}

}

I have 2 questions:
#1: Log is saying the following:

OnOrderUpdate:: State :: Submitted TS:: 03.33.00.000000 <-- Seems it shows the order that was submitted before the code submits it: there is 2 minutes difference.
SHORT HLTR1530.LowestLow[0] :: 2995 TS:: 03.35.43.718000
Order State :: Submitted
OnOrderUpdate:: State :: Accepted TS:: 03.33.00.000000
OnOrderUpdate:: State :: Working TS:: 03.33.00.000000
OnOrderUpdate:: State :: Filled TS:: 03.33.00.000000

#2 I can not figure out why the system generates this error (see attached)




Appreciate any help.

Hello

With the Time print you are doing I would suggest to avoid using the bar times if you are trying to get the order time. You can instead use the orders Time property: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...lightsub=order

myEntryOrder.Time

The image you attached did not come through, can you try to update your post or copy the text and paste that?

I look forward to being of further assistance.

Thank you.
I will use TS of Order.

Hello PageNotFound404,

This error generally means that one of the orders that was in the OCO group was not submitted at the same time which is something that is not allowed by some brokers. What broker is currently being used?

One way to avoid this with a strategy or script where you cannot control the OCO would be to use Local OCO if the connection allows for that. You may want to check in the Connection menu -> Edit your connection and see if there is a checkbox for Local OCO.

I look forward to being of further assistance.

Jesse,
Thank you for your answer. The question I had is related to the SetProfitTarget and SetStopLoss I set in order not do any custom submission. My connection is Continuum. I do not do any OCO. I'm doing EnterLongStopLimit (short / long) and always waiting when my position is 0, I get this message when I switch to SetProfitTarget and SetStopLoss. Related to your answer is another question. If i'm not using local OCO, does this means that my let say my entry (EnterLong) is pending order at the broker, or it is actually waiting when price hit locally and only after that it submit order to the broker?

Hello PageNotFound404 ,

The Set methods are OCO so that error would make sense with the set methods. I did note that you saw this with the sim account, you may want to try and repair the database and reset the sim here to clear the previous orders. It is possible that a OCO was reused from a previous order in some way to generate the error. For a live account the previous comment I made would still apply.

To clarify OCO means one cancels other so this would not relate to the orders state being pending, this links two orders together so that when one fills the other cancels. Some brokers do this on their end using the OCO id, others do not so there is also local OCO simulation where the platform submits the cancel when the linked order fills.




Resetting a simulation account will clear all historical trade data from this account. Please follow the instructions below to reset a simulation account:

• From the NinjaTrader Control Center window select the Accounts tab
• Right click on your simulation account and select 'Edit Account'
• Press the "Reset" button

• Disconnect NinjaTrader from any open connections via Control Center > Connections > Disconnect
• From the NinjaTrader Control Center window select the menu Tools > Database Management
• Click on 'Repair DB'
• Press the "Repair" button

I look forward to being of further assistance.

OK, I will reset, repair and repeat using build in functions.
Thank you.

And I did try, and reset and clean and use build-in functions.
And - result is the same, unfortunately:
Sim101, Order bignumber can't be submited. The OCO ID anotherbignumber cannot be reused. Please use new OCO ID. affected Order: Sell 1 Limit@...
How that is working? as it seems to me, build-in function does not?

Hello PageNotFound404,

Could you attach a sample of the script that you are using and the steps you use to see this? I would like to see if I am also able to generate the error or if this relates to something with your installation/settings.

This is controlled internally so we generally wouldn't expect the error for using the Set methods unless there is some logical problem in your code that is creating that situation. I would need to review more about what your logic is doing to better understand why we would see this in this situation.

I look forward to being of further assistance.

Jesse,
Thank you for offering help, attached is the code i'm using, I remove repetitive sections, and properties.
Thank you.

Hello PageNotFound404,

I tried to import the file but it looks like there is some error in the structure. Could you attach the .cs file instead, you can find the file in the folder: Documents\NinjaTrader 8\bin\Custom\Strategies

[PageNotFound404]

Jesse,
Sure, see attached.

Hello PageNotFound404,

Thanks for providing that.

I was able to get this imported, the structure looks correct now. I don't have the indicator you have used so I will try replacing that with the SMA in a quick test to see if I can reproduce the error with what is provided. Once I have had more time to test this I will post back here.
