Submitting stop Order with Entry Orders

[jg123]

Hello

I am reviewing some of my code to see how it can be improved and I wanted to check in on something.

Currently I have the code set to submit my protective stop when the entry orders are filled. I would prefer to submit the stop loss order at the same time that i submit the entry order. This would help to insure that the trade would be left unprotected in case of a technical difficulty before it could submit the stop order.

But, it seems to me that I did it like this due to a NT technical requirement like order handling rules or something. Can you confirm to me if this is the case?

Thanks!

Hello jg123,

Thank you for your post.

That is correct for the Managed Approach for orders. The internal order handling rules would not allow Enter methods and multiple Exit methods at the same time. The Set methods would not submit the order until the entry filled as well.

You could use the Unmanaged Approach to submit the orders at the same time. For information on the Unmanaged Approach please visit the following link: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...d_approach.htm
