GTC versus Day

[coolmoss]

Hi,

I've been running my strategies on some new instruments and exchanges. In particular, today I ran on SB (sugar on ICE) and received a rejected order because it appears that strategies, by default, submit GTC orders which ICE won't accept.

So, looking at the Ninja help guide, I find this....


protected override void Initialize()
{
TimeInForce = Cbi.TimeInForce.Day;
}

If I add this bit of code, will that likely upset all the other instruments/exchanges that are currently working just fine? I do trade both RTH and through the night. Would it perhaps be best if I had a separate script for the ICE products? (which I'd much prefer NOT to do).

Thanks.

Hello coolmoss,

It should not upset any other instruments besides changing the TimeInForce for your orders. Note that you can check the name of the instrument to filter a settings for a specific instrument if you would like. For example:

if( Instrument.MasterInstrument.Name == "SB")
{
	//do something
}

You may read more about MasterInstrument at the following link.

Please let me know if I can be of further assistance.
