adjusting DOM stop limit orders

[bkout]

I see from my Order list in the control Center that The DOM enters Stop limit orders that have a limit 20 ticks away from the entry. I may want to make this wider to allow for a "black swan" event where I would rather be out with a bad loss than stuck in a position. I'm thinking a "fat limit" is still better than a market order. I can't seem to find where this number is set.

Hello,

Thank you for your post.

You can adjust the price of the Limit by double left clicking on the Limit price within the Orders tab of the Control Center-->Input a new value then hit Enter.

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

Thanks but what I have in mind is changing the global default number not just changing one order. How would I do that?

Currently there is not an option to set a default within NinjaTrader however I have forwarded this to our development team as a suggestion on how we can improve the NinjaTrader platform. Once this suggestion has been input into our tracking system I will forward you the assigned ID number for tracking.

Wow. So to be sure I understand -- at this point the options with the DOM are a 20 tick stop Limit order, a stop market order or a stop limit order which is manually adjusted in the Control Center. Is that right?

Correct when placing a Stop Limit Order the only place to adjust the 20 Tick Limit value is within the Control Center currently and yes you can submit a Stop Market Order however this will not limit the fill price.
