Alert when position hits target

lordongi · Postby **lordongi** » 09 Apr 2020

Hi,

I use standard signal Profit_Target. I'd like to receive an email when my positions strikes target. If I enable Alerts in the signal properties, nothing happens. Method used there is

Code: Select all

SignalObject.GenerateProfitTarget

.

Kind Regards
Ingo Martienssen

I think the code of this signal script does what you want:

Code: Select all

using System;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using PowerLanguage.Function;
using ATCenterProxy.interop;

namespace PowerLanguage.Strategy
{
    public class AlertProfitTarget : SignalObject
    {
        public AlertProfitTarget(object _ctx) : base(_ctx) { }

        private int positionCount = 0;

        protected override void CalcBar()
        {
            // Only process when there's a new position traded
            if (TotalTrades < 1 ||
                Positions.Count == positionCount)
            {
                return;
            }

            // Get the last exit trade
            int numExits = Positions[1].ClosedTrades.Count - 1;
            ITradeOrder lastExit = Positions[1].ClosedTrades[numExits].ExitOrder;

            // See if that trade was a limit order with a particular name
            if (lastExit.Category == OrderCategory.Limit && lastExit.Name == "PT")
            {
                Alerts.Alert("Profit target hit! Exit price: {0} for {1} contracts.",
                    lastExit.Price, lastExit.Contracts);
            }

            positionCount = Positions.Count;
        }
    }
}

Note that this code looks if the exit trade was a limit order named PT. You'll have to replace that bit with the name of your take profit orders. Else the code cannot distinguish between a regular limit order exit and a take profit limit order.
