Can you default ChartTrader orders to GTC?

[mcatmull]

I would like to know if there is a way to force orders to be GTC? At a minimum, it would be nice if the ATM orders after the filled order could be set to GTC.

NOTE: One of the previous posts I read suggested in the Control Center, you can specify the Time-in-Force (TIF). I attempted this, but then the orders do not appear on the chart.

Hello mcatmull,

Thank you for your post.

The TIF can be set by clicking the "..." button, located next to "ATM Strategy" on the Chart Trader window, and selecting "GTC" from the TIF drop down menu.

There is currently no way to set a default TIF, so it must be manually selected. I will forward this request to our development team for consideration in a future release of NinjaTrader.
