Strategy Spread Oder Entry

[chrisdc5]

I'm trying to program a strategy which upon a certain trigger will buy one market and sell another at the same time. I'm having trouble entering the second order, I've looked at the MultiTimeFrameInstruments page but this hasn't answered my question.

Thanks

You will need to use NinjaTrader 6.5 currently in beta and available in this forum to be able to submit orders for multiple markets at the same time. In NT6, you are limited to doing this within the context of the market calling the OnBarUpdate() method.

Please take a look at the Help Guide in NT 6.5 under the Orders section for Custom Strategies.

I still haven't been able to implement this correctly. I'm trying to buy stock futures and sell bond futures every time there is a buy signal for stocks. For some reason the trades do not match up, I should have the same number of buys and sells for each but this does not happen.

You need to add a second bar object through the use of the multi-instrument capabilities in the strategy. Then you will need to send your orders to the corresponding bars object.
