Im a little stuck here. If I enter an order with an ATM strategy, then what object do I need to instantiate so that I can retrieve the stop and target levels?

So far I have managed to get VS hooked into Ninja.
Successfully get it to stop in debug mode at OnExecutionUpdate()
However I dont know what object array is carrying the information I need.

Thanks

// have you looked at this ?

protected override void OnExecution(IExecution execution)
{
Print(execution.Order.LimitPrice);
Print(execution.Order.StopPrice);
}

I tried it but compiler doesnt recognise it. I think that might be a NT7 interface. NT8 exposes the actual order object.

I foiund this page which Im scanning through:
NinjaTrader 8

Its been a while since Ive programmed though so this is going to take time .... and pain

yes yes yes
i'm on 7 sorry

I think it would be something like this, I havent tested it thought my brain is starting to hurt. Will try this weekend. rleplae does it look right to you?

Order stopOrder;
double _pricestop = stopOrder.StopPrice

Look here. https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/en-us/order.htm

you have to define a variable first like this: private Order stopOrder1 = null;

then when you lace your order you can do it like this: stopOrder1 = ExitShortStopMarket(double stopPrice);

(you can find the order methods here: https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/en-us/order_methods.htm)

then you can access it like this: stopOrder1.StopPrice

Im not sure what youve done there. Youre setting an order object to a string value?
Basically what I want to do is:

1. Create an event handler on executionupdate (or if there is a better way)
2. When the event is fired, instantiate an order object and retrieve the stop and limit levels.

My question is how do I get the current order object and what if its being managed by an atm strategy?

Ok so I am a little bit confused...kind of. So to start here is the NT8 Reference page for ATM in ninjascript https://ninjatrader.com/support/helpGuides/nt8/en-us/strategy.htm

1) If you put on the ATM strat then don't you know the stop and target levels?

2) It seams like most people use a ninjascript to enter a position and then (maybe) use an ATM strat as and exit.....it sounds like you want to do the opposite? (not that is wrong...just trying to understand).

3) I have never used and ATM stratagy ever before so I have never used them in an NT script. I am an approved NinjaTrader EcoSystem Partner so I can probably get an answer for you if I understand better.


So in NT8 the order info is stored in an order object. So you can define your own order object like I showed before: private Order myOrder1;

then if you use ninjasript to place a trade then you would do something like this: myOrder1 = "Place your Trade";
then the Order Object myOrder1 will point to that order so you can access it in your program. When I place stop orders in a NT script i always tell NT what the stop price should be....so I really never need to access myOrder1.StopPrice because i already know what i set it to in the first place.

Maybe if your ok with telling us what you are trying to do I/we can point you in the right direction. Or pm me if you need to make it private.

Hi Marpol,
Sorry Im not being very clear with what I am trying to achieve.
This is my first programming in a while so Im starting with something simple to get my head back into it.

At the moment, I do a screenshot after every trade has completed. I mark what my trade parameters were by drawing the entry, stop and target levels with a line. This helps my post analysis.
I want to speed up this process by automating the lines on the chart (with text showing the stop amount and target amount), so that when the trade is over all I have to do is quickly type in a brief analysis and then save the chart.

I really just need to get those levels and then my next step is figuring out how to draw a line on the chart at those levels.
