No Extended Hours trading via NinjaScript?

[saltboy]

My broker (Ameritrade) supports extended hours trading but it appears that NinjaTrader/NinjaScript does not support extended hours. The TimeInForce property in NT, from what I can tell, is limited to just GTC or Day (e.g. Cbi.TimeInForce.Day, Cbi.TimeInForce.Gtc)

So... am I out of luck if I want to use NinjaTrader to place (and potentially fill) stock trades at 8:30 AM Eastern time when the usual morning financial announcements come out? If I am out of luck, are there plans to include Extended Hours as a TimeInForce property (e.g. GTC+Ext. or Day + Ext)?

You'd think this would be a no brainer...?

saltboy, you're correct we would support using GTC or DAY - what issue do you see placing this order with GTC and cancelling yourself as needed through a CancelOrder() call the next day? Those should persist then across sessions.

The idea is that I would want to have the order filled immediately (or ASAP) at the point that I place it (during the extended AM hours). Without the ability to have orders filled during extended hours, well... that's just disappointing more than anything.

saltboy, which order type do you exactly place with NinjaScript and what rejection / error are you seeing please?
