capturing filled orders from manual trades

[federicoo]

Hello, I have little programming experience, my question is this: I want my strategy is idle until manually a trader enter an order. This order may be market or limit or stop, but I want the program to detect the exact moment that this order enter to the market (it was filled and become in a position), and take all available information from it (execution price, time, id, lots, buy or sell, etc.). This strategy will serve as an automatic trade manager for manually entered orders.

Thank you!

Hello federicoo,

Thanks for your post.

Your description sounds like what Ninjatrader calls an Advanced Trade Management strategy (ATM). ATM strategies activate (when selected) when an entry order has been filled either on the superdom or the Chart trader. Here is a link to a brief description of ATM strategies: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...m_strategy.htm

Here is a link to the helpguide on an ATM tutorial: http://ninjatrader.com/support/helpG...y_example_.htm

Regrettably you would not be able to use Ninjascript coded strategies because they would be unaware of an externally (to the strategy) placed order.

My strategy will use pivots levels and some other things ATM does not consider. So, as i understand, there is not way to check for external entered orders filled with ninjascript? I think that if the script is monitoring an instrument, f.e. ES, it should some way to detect when a order is filled in that instrument.
