how exit happens on same bar?

[ttodua]

i.e. I have EnterLongStop order, which fills at X price.



in OnOrderUpdate, I set ExitLongLimit Order to make a protective stop.
However, it exits on same bar, and what's the main thing here - it exits on the previous price (which havent been hit after entry).

After that,i've found that I should have used ExitLongStopMarket, and it will work well.


but, now i face another problem. I tested 2 variations with same chart:



if 1st , i use:
ExitLongStopMarket(0, true, 1, order.AverageFillPrice - TickSize, ...)
in 2nd , i use:
ExitLongStopMarket(0, true, 1, order.AverageFillPrice, ...)

and as you see, 2nd chart doesnt trigger exit. Why? the only difference is `-TickSize`

Hello TazoTodua,

Thank you for your note.

You could expect an exit on the same bar if worked close enough to the entry price and that stop price was within the entry candle. Without a more granular series Ninjatrader would not know the order in which prices traded for that candle. To avoid situations where the stop price wasn’t traded but Ninjatrader is showing your stop as filled you should add a secondary tick series to the script, see the following,

Regarding the 2nd chart not showing a fill, are you seeing errors on the log tab of the control center?

I look forward to your reply.
