I want to ask if I understand right that OCO only works with Set-Statements but eg not with "exitshortstop" and on the other side with a profit-target with conditions? Or is there any idea how it works as OCO with conditions and not with Set-Statements?
I want to share my thoughts about this: if one does an OCO and the connection to broker is working then everything is fine. But once the connection is interrupted then there are 2 non related orders on brokers-server as OCO is handled on the PC. Therefore I think it makes sense to send only a stoploss that resides on brokers server and the profit-target is handled on Ninja computer. If connection is working, everything is fine again but when connection is interrupted (one need a fire-insurance only for burning!) then there´s the stoploss on brokers server and the trade is safe (as there is no other non-related order then). But it might occur that there is an issue in NinjaTrader as there´s no OCO by definition in this case. When trading manually this is no problem but within automated strategy one order might not cancel other under certain conditions.
I hope I could help fellows with this thoughts - as I have been already in an internet-outage with a trade - and I hope there´s some idea how to solve best.
Happy trading!
Tony
