EnterLongLimt() questions

[Folls]

I want to make a strategy using EnterLongLimit() and other limit orders.

1) Is there an example strategy anywhere using limits?

2) Since the limit orders must be re-entered every tick, what if the limit was for 200 and 100 were filled? Do you need to re-enter at 100 then or still re-enter at 200?

Thanks,

Folls

1) This one here (http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/v...ead.php?t=3223) uses EnterLongStop(). It is implemented in the same way you would implement EnterLongLimit() though.

2) I believe you don't need to modify the order when it is resubmitted. NT will understand it was a partial fill and continue to try to fill your original order.

Partial fills.

I want to make sure that in fact the engine does continue to place EnterShortLimit() and EnterLongLimit() orders with a new qty once a partial fill occurs as long as I continue to issue the order every OnBarUpdate() event.

Example:
DefaultQuantity = 2

I am long two contracts and I place EnterShortLimit(DefaultQuantity,price,"GoShort")
) order above market action, two contracts gets filled, I continue to place the EnterShortLimit() order regardless if the Position.MarketPosition == MarketPosition.Flat ... will it know to place an order for net 2 short.

Any variation of the above test perfectly in backtest since it is always assumed that all qty is filled when a fill happens .. I just need to make sure that this does work correctly in live.

It is expected to work live however, that's one of the benefits of NinjaTrader. You can test this in real-time using a live feed against the Sim101 account, Market Replay or Simualted Data Feed.

Sim vs. Live on fills.

Ray,
Does the SIM account, account for, partial fills?
How does it do that?

Example if I have a limit order in the market in real life my placement within the "Order Stack" is an unknown, how does SIM account for this?

Without providing the entire algorithm, yes it handles partial fills. If you want to enforce this, go to Tools > Options > Sim and change the settings.
