Thank you for the suggestion! After having had a look at it, it doesn't quite do the same thing or what I'm looking for from the Ninja Trader MAMA indicator.

So still hoping some of the brilliant minds on here are able to answer my questions?

Hi FireMyst,

They are displayed in the Positions tab.

Best Regarrds,

Panagiotis

Thank you for your reply.

It would be a nice feature to have the "Comments column" on the "History" or "Events" tab too because it would be nice to see comments we had against positions from x-weeks or x-months ago.

Otherwise, the only way to view any past comments, a user has to scroll back through the entire log history (if they actually wrote comments to the "Log" tab), which appears to be the only way to do it, correct?

If so, it's kind of pointless from a usability perspective that we can only see comments we made while a position is open. :-)

Thank you.

Hi FireMyst.

No it does not. You need to close them programmaticaly if you wish to do so.

Best Regards,

Panagiotis

Thank you for the confirmation. :-)

You can specify label and comment in ExecuteMarketOrder, PlaceLimitOrder and PlaceStopOrder methods. If you would like to modify label and comment after that please post your idea to vote.spotware.com.

Hi there:

Are "comments" displayed anywhere? They don't appear in our "History" or "Events" tabs when backtesting.

Can you confirm if they are only displayed in the "Log" tab when we do the following:

Position p = Positions.Find(myLabel);
Print(p.Comment);

??? Or somewhere else?

Thank you

Does stopping a bot close all open positions?

Hi everyone:

Reading this thread and for clarification -- does stopping a bot close all open positions and pending orders?

Or (most likely) do they have to be programmatically closed in the OnStop method since the orders/positions are on the server?

Thank you

Hello,

 

I have a doubt on the api to open a new position.

I don't understand the pending order, if I want to open a position I just use ExecuteMarketOrder right ?

Does that create a pending order that I have to wait to get accepted by the server ?

 

Thanks,

As far as I know and understand, the ExecuteMarketOrder creates a new "position", not an "order". 

Then you have to test to see if it was successful. Eg, TradeResult r; if r.IsSuccessful then ... 

If the result is successful, it was accepted by the server.

Hi FireMyst,

Try changing your cBot and indicator access rights e.g. try AccessRights = AccessRights.FullAccess.

Best Regards,

Panagiotis

Thank you! That was the issue exactly. Except, in this case, I only had to change the access rights on the bot, and not the indicator.

Funnily enough, after your response, I found the reference and guide online for access rights. Here it currently is for everyone else's reference:

Thank you for your reply, but that's not what I meant. :-)

In the "OnTick" method, after I place an order:

ExecuteMarketOrder(TradeType.Buy, Symbol, PositionSize, MyLabel, StopLossInPips, null, null, null, true);

I had an area of code that gets run through if I have at least 1 open position:

if (Positions.Count > 0)
                    {
                        Position position = Positions[0];
                        Print("Stoploss: {0},", position.StopLoss);
                    }

The value of position.StopLoss never seemed to change, even though I can see the trailing stop loss move on the chart in backtest mode.

However, I've since managed ot figure out my issue - I wasn't looking at the correct times in the log. Doh! :-) 

Anyway, I appreciate your response :-)
