Unknown OIF file type.

[Zardoz]

I am getting this error in the log when the strategy tries to place an order.

Unknown OIF file type 'C:Program FilesNinjaTrader 5incomingcommand.txt'

The entire command is shown below:

FileAppend("crogram filesninjatrader 5incomingcommand.txt",
"PLACE;SIM101;ER2 06-06;BUY;2;LIMIT;"+numtostr(close[0]-EntryAdjNin,1)+";0;GTC;;;ER surge 2c stop 1;");

In NT4 I use to use order.txt but with NT5 I read one uses COMMAND.TXT.

Using TS 2000i and NT5 5.1.1000.2

Please advise,

Zardoz

OIFs must be written to the <NinjaTrader Installation Folder>\Incoming folder and be named oif*.txt.

Thanks for the quick reply. Will try it. You should be aware however that in your knowledge base doc under ATI you have the following as an example of "GOOD" code. no oif*.txt here:


Good:
...
FileAppend("C:\Program Files\NinjaTrader 5\incoming\command.txt","PLACE;SIM101;ES 03-06;Buy;1;LIMIT;1283.25;0;GTC;;;TEST1;" + NewLine + "PLACE;SIM101;ES 03-06;Buy;1;LIMIT;1283.75;0;GTC;;;TEST2);




thx
