Strategy not trading.

[Frederic]

Hello,

I have a few question regarding NinjaTrader and Strategy. I create a strategy and sometimes it is trading and sometimes not... Here can you find the error in the logfile:
' Name='Sell short' New State=PendingSubmit Instrument='ES 12-09' Action=SellShort Limit price=0 Stop price=1046 Quantity=1 Type=Stop Filled=0 Fill price=0 Error=NoError Native error=''
and no trade.

here again:
An Enter() method to submit an entry order at '11/2/2009 4:24:15 PM' has been ignored. Please search on the term 'Internal Order Handling Rules' in the Help Guide for detailed explanation.
and no trade.

Is it a strategy error or ninjatrader?
Who can help me with it??

Thanks a lot.

Frederic

Frederic, with your order placement in the strategy you unfortunately run into our 'Internal Order Handling Rules', explained in the bottom section of this link here - http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...verview36.html

NinjaTrader 7 will offer more flexibility in this regard as we offer an unmanaged order submission feature then - http://www.ninjatrader.com/webnew/NT7/NinjaTrader7.html

New Unmanaged Order Submission
In 6.5 some users were burdened with our "Internal Order Handling" rules. We have introduced unmanaged order submission which bypasses the convenience of our order handling layer. This lower level of programming allows you to do what you want relative to order submission/management without any limitations other than any imposed by your broker. There are only three methods, SubmitOrder(), ChangeOrder() and CancelOrder(). You then get the flexibility of managing your orders how you see fit and optionally handling rejections.

Hello Bertrand,

Thanks for your answer. You wrote that Ninja 7 will be better regarding this problem. Is there any Ninja7 that I can try? where to download it?

Thanks a lot,
Frederic

Frederic, for sure it would offer more flexibility as you can manage this all for yourself in your code (but adds responsibility in the same way) - we currently look for more beta testers, you're welcome to apply as per Ray's last post here (Nov 4th) -
