Orders at Gain

[tony900hwk]

I'm writing a strategy for use with Gain and I have a question about the orders in case NT is disconnected. If I have a position open with a stop and target, are they both associated with the position? Will the other cancel if one is executed?

Not if you are disconnected since GAIN does not support native OCO capability.

OK, so assuming NT is not able to reconnect, what is the best way to handle being disconnected? Should I only place the stop, and keep the target internal in the code and only send the order if price achieves the target? I'm just trying to prevent a problem if I'm not at the computer or there is something like a power outage, things of that nature.

Ultimately its what risk you feel most comfortable with. Calling broker is always recommended in a situation when your account is at risk due to any complication in automation.

OK, I understand. My last question is: do you know if Gain automatically closes positions and orders if ninjatrader is disconnected for a certain period of time? Thanks for your help.

Not that I am aware of.
