Question on virtual server vs stop buy or sell order.

[islandwizard]

1) For futures if I put a buy stop order into Ninja Trader, and then turn it off before the order is activated, will it still be filled, or do I need to have the program running during the night to have this order filled?

2) If I need to have the program running during the night to have my order filled, will a private virtual server work? And do you have any suggestions on how to set this up and/or what vendors to use?

Hi islandwizard,

Order location will depend on state and broker used. Most commonly you're working orders will be held with broker or exchange so they can be filled even when NinjaTrader is off. Additional information on this available at link below:

You can run NT on a virtual private server. We have no recommendations on this except that the installation environment fits these minimum system requirements:
