Reverse

[Jorge.andres.o]

Hello,

I am trying to build a code for a reverse that occurs only if the algorithm enter one bar after the trigger and, in the same bar, it hits the stop. I can set up the reverse but I and not sure how to identify which way the reverse is once the market fills the stop orders.

if (barNumberOfLongEntries != 0)
if ( barNumberOfLongEntries == 1 && BarsSinceExitExecution() == 0)

WOuld you help me please?

Hello Jorge.andres.o,

Thanks for your post.

When you are in a position you could set a bool variable that you create that would be the direction of the last order.

if (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.long)
{
myLong = true; // myLong is a bool you would create
myShort = false; // myshort is a bool you would create
}

if (Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Flat && (your other conditions to reverse) && myLong == true)
{
EnterShort(); // reverse direction from lonng.
myLong = false;
}

Hi Paul,

if I may add something, IMO, when reversing, there is no need to have Market = Flat before Enter. One just needs to have e.g. EnterSort conditions to be true in order to Enter Short directly from his Long Posistion (and vice versa). Unless, if he wants to avoid usage of double margin, then, yes, he may demand Market=Flat and then go Short . In the latter case, and in order to reduce some delay (if he has COBC = true), he may add in his Enter ifs the : " ... && FirstTickOfBar ". Thanks.

Paul,

Thank you very much!

I already wrote the code but it is not working because of the following error:

Strategy 'BankingWayV3x0x2ATRTicks2xEscalonOffSetRunnersRev ersaExtrema': Error on calling 'OnBarUpdate' method on bar 154: Strategy 'BankingWayV3x0x2ATRTicks2xEscalonOffSetRunnersRev ersaExtrema/207532070': You must use the overload that has a 'BarsInProgress' parameter when calling the BarsSinceEntryExecution() method in the context of a multi-time frame and instrument strategy.

I have not been able to find a solution to it

Hello Jorge.andres.o,

Thanks for your reply.

The error is advising to use the overload of the method that allows you to specify the BarsInProgress index.
From the help guide it would be this overload: BarsSinceEntryExecution(int barsInProgressIndex, string signalName, int entryExecutionsAgo) Please see: https://ninjatrader.com/support/help...yexecution.htm


So instead of () you would use something like (0,"",0) where the first 0 would be the BarsInProgress index to reference the BarsInProgress where the entry was made (if it was made on BarsInprogress 0, otherwise specify the specific BarsInProgress (Time frame) that the entry was made on).
