Hi all,

I'm trying to put together template for entry exit logic so it would be easy to code new strategies and got stuck on one portion where I can't close triggered long limit order. So, basically scenario is my 3 long limit orders are being triggered and when I try to to Exit long ninja doesn't close it, here is log from traceorder:


code to place the orders :

Order1 = EnterLongLimit(0,true,LotSize1, ePrice, "Order1");
Order2 = EnterLongLimit(0,true,LotSize2, ePrice, "Order2");
Order3 = EnterLongLimit(0,true,LotSize3, ePrice, "Order3");

Log :

here is the code that I'm executing to close orders:
ExitLong("Order1");
ExitLong("Order2");
ExitLong("Order3","");
ExitLong();

result:

Any suggestion pleaseee ??? I'm trying to close all orders at that time, if there is opposite signal.

ExitLong() reliably closes orders. If it does not close your orders, there is a problem in your code elsewhere.

As you have not posted the entire strategy, nobody can help you unless you post it.

I did a check with print message, condition is being triggered with "ExitLong" statements, i'm really confused where else can be the problem :S Can you confirm that ExitLong would close triggered LongLimitOrder ? if it is then probably I will need to comment out everything and enable block by block

Are you sure NT is not ignoring the exits because they might violate their internal order rules? That's one of the reasons I now only use Unmanaged orders. You may want to also open a post on the NT support forum.

Thank you for your input, I don't see any errors related to the internal handling rules in logs. Also another question iOrder object, will it become null after order is closed? or it will still have details from the last order ?

The variable that holds the IOrder object will always contain the object untill you set the variable to null. The IOrder object itself will hold values in its properties for the order.

Thank you for your information! I got Visual Studio for debugging now it became waaay easier. Now I need another word of advice, on how to track\distinguish orders that hit TP and got closed at tp ? For example I have 3 orders rolling with 3 different target prices, orderstatus is filled. But I can't find the way to say which one is filled and which one is not, this is to close any open orders on opposite signal or to know when to clear iOrder objects. Thank you for your help everyone. Should I use opposite stop order to simulate TP ? and when its hit have action done on that event ? Limit order for TP and stop orders for SL ?
