Tradestation dll strategy not working

[suedeuno]

I added the code to send signal to Ninja from Tradestation, and I did not get a Ninja execution.

Buy ( "MACrossLE" ) next bar at market ;
if LastBarOnChart and NTConnected(1) then begin
Success = NTBuyMarket("MyOrderId", 1);
end;

The trade does execute in Tradestation.

Will this not work with futures because of the symbol difference between TS and Ninja?

Do you have the ATI interface in NinjaTrader enabled? Is the symbol mapping for your market properly setup with those instructions? - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...olMapping.html

Bertrand, how do I enable the ATI?

Bertrand,

I'm getting strange results. It's firing Ninja orders when tradestation is not and when it fires the ninja order it fires both the buy and then the sell no matter what.

I have two tradestation strategies, one for buy(or cover), one for sell(or short). The ninja code is inside of the tradestation order code so the ninja code cannot fire unless the tradestation conditions are met. It's firing orders when I refresh the chart, which it's not supposed to with LastBaronChart and it also appears to fire an order when a new bar prints. This looks like a bug to me.

...
if CurrentBar > ConfirmBars and Counter = ConfirmBars then
{ CB > ConfirmBars check used to avoid spurious cross confirmation
at CB = ConfirmBars }
//TS code:
Buy ( "LEStrategy" ) next bar at market ;
//Ninja code:
if NinjaOn then begin
if LastBarOnChart and NTConnected(1) then begin
NTOrderId = NTNewOrderId;
Success = NTBuyMarket(NTOrderId, 2);
end;
end;

Hi suedeuno, let's step back for a moment - did you try the interface with our NTSample demo strategy? Does this work as expected for you?

The strategy will for sure fire orders again when you refresh the TS chart, since you got no check for the current market position in your code and the LastBarOnChart will be set to true again as you refresh.

I did not try the demo strategy, I just used the code from the documentation. I'll add the check for market position and see if that works.

I assume this will work?

NTMarketPosition("") >= 0


I tried it some today and it seemed like it either was not working correctly or it was vastly lagging. What kind of lag should I expect? I'm running high bandwidth cable and a reasonably newer workstation.

suedeuno, please post the full code that you use - the execution should be nearly instant if all is setup correctly. I can highly suggest to review and try this with the provided NTSample strategy first and then proceed from there. Thanks!
