NTSample to send order from TS to NT

[ccl3093]

Hi guys,

Everything is working fine if I use NTSample to send order from tradestation to ninjatrader. However, if I make a small change, I can not send order to NT since log file has nothing of order. my code is very simple as below. Thanks very much for help in advance.

1). stragety:
vars: myPosition(0), Success(0);
if LastBarOnChart and NTConnected(1) then begin
myPosition = NTMarketPosition("Sim101");
print (myPosition);
if myPosition = 0 and close > open then begin
Success = FC_NTAction("Sim101", "Buy", "MyOrderId", 1, "ST1");
end;

if myPosition > 0 and close < open then begin
Success = FC_NTAction("Sim101", "Sell", "MyOrderId", 1, "ST1");
end;
end;

2). FC_NTAction:
inputs: myAccount(string), myAction(string), OrderId(string), Quantity(numericsimple), myStrategy(string);
FC_NTAction = NTCommand("Place", myAccount, myAction, Quantity, "Market", 0, 0, "", "", OrderId, "", myStrategy);

It seems like that accountName passing to NTCommand must be empty string. otherwise, the order will NOT be sent out. I don't understand the reason.
1). this one working
Success = NTCommand("Place", "", "Buy", 1, "Market", 0, 0, "", "", "MyOrderId", "", "");
2). this one not working since having accountname.
Success = NTCommand("Place", "Sim101", "Buy", 1, "Market", 0, 0, "", "", "MyOrderId", "", "");

Please help me on this basic issue.

Hello ccl3093,

Thank you for your post.

There should be an error reporting in the case the Account string cannot be recognized.
Please send me your log and trace files so that I may look into what occurred. You can do this by going to the Control Center-> Help-> Mail to Platform Support. Please list 'ATTN: Patrick H' in the subject line and reference this thread in the body of the email.

NTCommand could not recognize the strategy string either.

Thanks,
