Sleep (or wait) timer

[Jean-Marc-Molina]

I have a Ninja Automated trading script running in realtime (CalculateOnBarClose=false) and I sometimes face the issue of having my orders executed twice. (It seems the internal program loop goes faster than IB order execution).

Can I either :

1) put a timer in the program after my order instructions. If so what is the instruction to use?

(I've tried the instruction Sleep(5000), which is a C# instruction, but Ninja compiler does not recognize it. I haven't found any instruction like wait(), pause() or sleep() in NinjaTrader documentation)



2) or wait until the instruction (for example enterlong()) is executed before going further. If so how sould I proceed?



Thank you in advance.

We do not suggest manipulating threads. Alternatively, you can take a look at 6.5 event driven methods such as OnOrderUpdate(), this will allow you to monitor changes in order states and use this to better control program flow.

Thank you Ray

I'll try to use the recommended method.
