Cumulitive Profit not changing..

[NinjaTrader_Lance]

For testing strategies in real time the simulated connection works great. It doesn't resemble live market data but lets you control and manipulate the markets: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...connection.htm

If you're testing on the weekend (or when your instrument would be closed) be sure to change the session template to something that would be open (such as default 24/7)

Lance, I figured why the #'s were off. The output for example would read -.72 and the strategy analyzer window would read -146. I guess you have to multiply by the # of shares(in my case 200 shares). Then the the last digit being 2 less I guess is just commission.

Still having the issue with the orders not closing out at end of day when backtesting, it's something to do with this line...

// If our Long Limit order is still active we will need to cancel it.
{
CancelOrder(entryOrder);
}

What exactly does this mean, it says "if order is still active", does this mean that it's still flat but it's been activated and the fill order is pending?

if so do I need to put some sort of IF condiition before it such as...

if (order.OrderState == OrderState.PendingSubmit)

or

if (entryOrder != null)

If you want the orders to close out at the end of the session you can set ExitOnClose = true; http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...xitonclose.htm

If you want it to be a custom exit time you would want to create your own exit/flatten routine.

Example pseudo code:

if(its the exit time)
{
  if(myIOrder != null)
    CancelOrder(myIOrder); //will also want to set the order to null (typically this is done in OnOrderUpdate() )

}
