I'm sure this has been covered here already, but my search skills are limited. Where or how do we track id #s such as #465. Just curious to see how far on the horizon this may actually be, or not at all. Thank you.

This request has been submitted to our development team and has been assigned ID #465 for tracking.

Thanks again for your suggestion and please let me know if I may be of further assistance.

Is this going to happen or no? I would really like it if my positions were not averaged together. I want what Trumpy is looking for. What did the development team think of this?

Hello Trumpy,

Thank you for your note.

Unfortunately NinjaTrader uses FIFO and there is not an option to change this to LIFO at this time. I will however forward this to our development team for future considerations.

Please let me know if I may be of further assistance.

Hi,

Is there a way I can set NT to match entries & exits to LIFO (Last In First Out)?

What I am trying to do is build a base position and then add to it. If the market goes against me I want to take off the most recently added contracts and keep my first lot of contracts (core position). If there is no setting per se is there another way to achieve this in Ninja by entering orders manually or something? Any advice appreciated.

Thanks
