Small doubt about TickSize

[karthik007]

Hi

Please take a look at this example using Unmanaged Approach.

shortEntry = SubmitOrder(0, OrderAction.SellShort, OrderType.Limit, 1, Open[0]+10*TickSize, 0, "entry", "Short limit entry");

Here you see that Short Entry 10 ticks above the opening price of the session. You can see that I did not mention any Tick Size. For Eg. Crude 0.01, ES 0.25... and so on..

Is it necessary to mention the tick size as numerical value ? Or Does Ninjatrader understand that automatically based on the instrument... ?

Please clarify.

Hello karthik007,

Thanks for your post.

TickSize does automatically provide the smallest price movement for the instrument in use.

Here is the definition in the helpguide: http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/h...l?ticksize.htm

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

Hello Paul. Thanks for your reply.

I'm trying to close working orders and filled orders after the end of a session using

ExitOnClose = true;
ExitOnCloseSeconds = 5;

in unmanaged approach.

But it is not working.. Please tell why. I inserted this code in Initialize() at the beginning of the strategy. But the orders are not cancelling/closing 5 seconds before the close of the session in progress.

If you need to see the code, I can PM it to you. Please let me know.

Hello karthik007,

Thanks for your question.

When you apply the strategy have you verified that the Exit on Close setting in the strategy panel (user interface) is also set to True?

Yes Paul, it is enabled but it is not working. I've sent the code to your inbox. Please take a look.
