I've just released Direction Momentum v1.0.1 which addresses a safety issue related to emergency stop order detection. This is a preventive update to ensure the strategy has time to confirm stop orders are working before triggering any emergency exits.
📋 WHAT'S FIXED IN v1.0.1:
✅ Emergency Stop Protection
The strategy now waits 2 bars after entry before checking for missing stop orders. This prevents false alarms where the emergency "no stop order" check could trigger while stop orders were still being submitted and confirmed by NinjaTrader. This ensures your positions are always properly protected without premature emergency exits.
🔄 HOW TO UPDATE:
If you're upgrading from v1.0.0:
- Close all charts using the Direction Momentum strategy
- In NinjaTrader Control Panel, go to Tools > Remove NinjaScript Assembly

⚙️ DO YOU NEED TO CHANGE YOUR SETTINGS?
No! All your existing settings will continue to work. This is an internal safety improvement that doesn't require any configuration changes.
📊 IMPACT ON TRADING:
Since Direction Momentum uses OnBarClose calculation mode, this issue was already very unlikely to occur. However, this update adds an extra layer of protection to ensure stop orders are always properly confirmed before any emergency checks activate. Your trading should continue exactly as before, just with enhanced safety.
🤝 PROP FIRM COMPLIANCE:
The manual control buttons (Longs ON/OFF, Shorts ON/OFF) continue to work exactly as before for prop firm compliance.
