Force Liberal Programmatically

[coolmoss]

Is there a way to force a strategy to have a default of Liberal, instead of Default, for Historical Order Processing?

I tried

HistoricalOrderProcessing = Liberal;

but that didn't compile.

Hello coolmoss,
Please try the below code to do it.

this.FillType = new LiberalFillType();

Hi Joydeep,

This works, except that when I go to export the strategy as a compiled assembly, I get an error compiling export assembly. Error states that 'LiberalFillType' could not be found. Do I need to add a using directive or an assembly reference?

Thanks much for your help,

Bob

Hello Bob,
Yes, you need to add the FillType while exporting the strategy.

I don't see the LiberalFillType.cs anywhere in the list in the Export Ninjascript wizard window. Can you please further explain exactly what I need to do. I've never needed to reference an outside .cs file before.

Many thanks.

Hello Bob,
To assist you further may I know,

• Are you trying to using the LiberalFilltype of any custom filltype
• Are you exporting the strategy as a source or as an assembly.

I look forward to assisting you further.

I don't understand your first question. My desire is to place a line of code in Initialize() that will force the Historical Order Processing to use the Liberal fill type instead of the Default fill type. I'm NOT attempting to create a new fill type.

I'm exporting as an assembly.

Thanks.

Hello Bob,
Thanks for the clarification.

Please follow the below steps to export the code:

• Close NinjaTrader
• Please copy paste the @LiberalFillType.cs file from the folder ~|Documents\NinjaTrader 7\bin\Custom\Type\ to the folder ~\Documents\NinjaTrader 7\bin\Custom\Indicator\
• Start NinjaTrader.
• In Control Center menu bar goto File>Utilities>Export NinjaScrpt..
• In the Export NinjaScript dialog select your strategy and the @LiberalFillType (choose export objects as System Indicators) and export it.

Please move the @LiberalFillType to the Type folder once you are done.
